Meet Pilates Instructor Andy
Andy had stoma surgery in January 2020. After surgery, Andy took part in clinical rehabilitation with Sarah Russell, a Clinical Exercise Specialist.
Andy worked with Sarah to further understand how movement is beneficial from a clinical point of view and the way in which people with a stoma should perform movements to ensure they're done safely.
