I got my life back: Chantal
After a day of work, Chantal could not do anything anymore. Now she does things in the evening again, and fits more into her week.
“This was really my biggest change, because it gave me so much of my life back.”
Chantal tells her story (90 seconds, in Dutch)
Back problems since fifteen
Chantal is 35 and has run a cat café in Leiden for more than 6 years. Her back has bothered her for much longer.
“I’ve had back problems since I was fifteen.”
“Since I started my café it has really only got worse over the years.”
After a day of work she sometimes could not get off the couch. She tried all sorts of things: physio, personal training, release therapy and exercises.
Heard and seen
Chantal saw online that coach Jari kept learning. She recognised a lot in it. She booked a Body-APK, to see what it could do for her back.
“I felt very much heard. I felt very much seen.”
What stood out to her: there was no single fixed approach for everyone with back problems.
“He really looked at me as a person.”
“I simply had an awful lot of confidence in it.”
More in a week
“Now it’s going so well that after work, I can still do things in the evening.”
She fits more into her week, without a lot of back pain. And she notices it in the gym.
“I can lift more. I can do more in class.”
He really looked at me as a person.
