Cardiac Pulmonary Training

Rose - North London

I had a doctors appointment regarding my lung condition and had my yearly spirometry test and the doctor was very pleased with my improvement and he asked me what I had been doing! I told him it's my exercise class I do with Siobhan very week and he said keep up the good work as I have never seen such improvements in a spirometer test! Well done!...

I was in Siobhan's exercise class for about 6 years. It was one of the things I did that kept me going - I am now 85, soon to be 86, but it kept me supple and as fit as one can be at my age. And for that I do thank you very much Siobhan....

Siobhan Rogers is the teacher at the COPD Exercise programme that I attend at St Mary's community centre Islington. I suffer with chronic Emphysema and became very depressed when first diagnosed. The method, style and attitude of Siobhan to all of us that attend, and we are a motley group, is great. She gets involvement and commitment from everyone. I've never missed a session, other than holidays, and return suffering and needing having missed it. I now know how important...

When I had completed Pulmonary Rehabilitation Classes it was suggested that should I wish to continue with these exercises I should contact Siobhan Rogers at the Royal Free Charity Rehabilitation Club right next door to the hospital. This I did and the weekly attendance at her classes has become essential. To paraphrase Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar : “ She is constant as the Northern star “ Always on time, ebulliant, and on the very few occasions when I have been the...

I was referred to Siobhan’s pulmonary rehabilitation group sessions about two years ago. Although challenging, Siobhan’s individual attention and direct feedback for improvement has made a significant difference to my breathing, fitness and personal wellbeing in general. While shielding during lockdown, Siobhan created virtual classes using Zoom. These were great as I didn’t miss out on the continuation. She also provided me with written instructions in order to repeat the training regularly at home. Subsequently, she created a video of...

I would like to express my gratitude to Siobhan Rogers of CardiacPT for being part of the excellent program of physio and neuro-physio she has undertaken on a weekly basis with my mother, Ruth, who is now ninety one, in her care home. Before Siobhan’s involvement Ruth, after a stroke and rehab, was having regular falls about once a month, which were just accepted on the basis that ‘falls happen’. This eventually landed Ruth in hospital with a nasty injury...

I have never been much of a fan of structured exercise so it is something of a surprise to me that I enjoy the breathe easy classes led by Siobhan. I find Siobhan to be always cheerful, extremely encouraging and very patient. She makes a great effort to explain each of the exercises, is always happy to find an alternative if there is a particular exercise that you can't do and generally encourages you throughout the class. She takes time...

I attended exercise classes given by Siobhan Rogers from 2007 to 2014, when I had to stop due to lack of transport. These were classes for the over 50's, called "Healthy Bones". They were partly sitting, and partly standing, and Siobhan worked all our muscle groups and joints. I am now in my mid 80's and since ceasing the classes I have developed one ache or pain after another, the worst being "plantar fasciitis". And I am sure these would...

Thank you for all the time and care you gave me and my body these last six months. I do feel an improvement in my health and general strength. When we had to transition to zoom sessions I got very discouraged since I like the in person experience. However you slowly helped me adapt to this new way of exercising. You provided the regular verbal encouragement and making sure that all the normal check ins still happened. I guess in...

Dear Siobhan, I wanted to drop you a note following my recent fitness training under your guidance. Before I started to exercise I struggled to walk, had to maintain a slow pace and rest after a few minutes. I followed your exercise system (power walk, dumbells, warm up etc) for one year and have noticed a dramatic improvement in my health. I can now walk at a reasonable pace for upto 15 minutes without rest. I can walk to the...
