I first went in as rehab patient after tearing my hamstring from the bone. The team brought me back from my injury in 7 months where the predicted time span was usually 2-3 years fro this type of injury, to where I could compete on the ASP world tour where I placed 3rd in the world the first year back. Jan has taught me so much about how my body health and mind works. The team at CHEK Australia is extremely knowledgableand passionate about all they do and put 100% in to everything. Without CHEK I wouldn"t have recovered from the injury and continued my surfing career and now achieved my dream as World Champion on the WCT tour 2007.   Mick F   Back to TOP STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING   Get fit and look great with Chek Australia.

Kate Wilcomes has been coming in for some training with Jan after a massive neck injury 4 months ago. She herniated C7 in Nov 2009 and is now 26 weeks pregnant so treatment has been a challenge. After 9 weeks in bed she is now building the strength to deliver her baby in June and also to return to surfing after the baby arrives. Kate is feeling great and really happy with the improvement since Jan's intervention in the last 2 weeks. She is feeling able to cope with the day-to-day chores in the house and keeping up with her 2 year old. Her pain in now mostly in her lower back due to an SI instability and with specific exercises Jan has been giving her, the pain has been dramatically reduced in fact most days it is only slight. Kate reports the one on one guidance has been invaluable and Jan's advice has given her hope that her body WILL make it through the birth in June. Feb 2010 Flattening your Abs after Pregnancy. Today many women have distended abdominal muscles years after having children. Sadly this is unnecessary. The abdominal muscles go through a unique lengthening process when a woman becomes.  As the fetus grows, there’s increased stretch placed on the abdominal wall from the inside. This stretch force causes the body to add functional units called sarcomeres to the abdominal muscles, making them progressively longer. After childbirth, the stretch force is reduced and the sarcomeres begin reducing in number.  Normally, the muscles should return to normal length.  Unfortunately, this natural rebounding process may not occur if the woman becomes pregnant again too soon, gains excess weight or has a cesarean section.  Cesarean sections can cause a lot of problems for females. I have rehabilitated numerous females with low back pain that developed within 3-6 months after having a cesarean section.  When the doctor cuts through the abdominal wall, the muscles are wounded.  There are three layers of muscle comprising the abdominal wall, and when the layers of muscle are sewn back together, scarring occurs, leaving significant adhesions and causing dysfunction in the abdominal wall/ When there’s scarring and adhesions, muscle fibers, as well as independent layers of muscle, lose their ability to slide across one another effectively.  The resulting pain always causes inhibition (weakness) in muscles. Women soon learn to avoid contracting the painful muscles and develop faulty muscle recruitment patterns.  This directly destabilizes the back and indirectly destabilizes the entire body.. Damage to the pelvic floor is a common occurrence during pregnancy.  The muscle can become damaged from the stretch pressure due to the expanding womb or from an episiotomy.  There may also be damage to nerves, leaving the pelvic floor disabled to varying degrees.   Because the pelvic floor, deep abdominal, deep back and diaphragm muscles all work as part of a system, when the muscles of the pelvic floor are damaged, the result may be the inability to properly use the abdominal wall muscles. After about 6-12 months, a woman with this dysfunction will typically have what we call a Heart Bottom Syndrome. To restore abdominal muscles to their optimal length, follow this protocol: 1.              Eat correctly for your metabolic type. 2.              Eat high-quality foods and drink adequate water 3.              Perform the corrective exercises prescribed for you.                      6 Week Course starting March 10th!  Give YOU SOME TIME - It is guaranteed to Benefit you and your BABY.
