Cardiac Pulmonary Training

C - North London

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...

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...

Siobhan I would like to say a huge thank you for the pregnancy exercise's. My baby girl was born by normal birth, it was a short labour and right on time as it was her due date. I really believe the exercise contributed to an easier labour and its thanks to you that I am already back in my skinny jeans!! Thank you....

Siobhan's pulmonary classes are very focussed and results-oriented yet totally pleasurable. She tailors the exercises to the precise needs of each participant, is constantly vigilant as to what each individual is doing throughout the class and issues frequent reminders as to goals, making sure the exercise is right and that not a second is wasted. She monitors progress all the time and provides the best possible motivation to get the most out of the class....

Now in my mid-70s, I have a long history of chronic COPD and severe arthritis with bi-lateral hip replacements. Having been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer the previous month, I joined Siobhan’s classes in May 2015, keen to get and remain as fit as possible. The classes exceeded my expectations. I found them far superior to the classes I had previously experienced, and excellent value for money. Siobhan’s approach is highly competent, structured and well organised. She is very professional,...

When I was referred to pulmonary rehabilitation I was in denial that exercise would help my lung condition. I am pleased to say that after my first exercise session with Siobhan I felt the benefit, I had more energy after the class. Over the last year I have seen improvements in my health, I have more energy to do daily tasks, I go out more where as before I used to avoid going out due to my lung condition. Since...

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...

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....

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...
