Yes — and this is one of Abi’s core specialisms. Post-surgical training requires a completely different approach to a standard programme: different load management, different recovery timelines, and genuine understanding of what your body has been through. Abi has worked with clients recovering from hysterectomies, joint replacements, and abdominal surgeries, and has navigated her own hysterectomy recovery. She’ll work with your surgical team’s guidance and adapt sessions as you progress. The private studio means no one watching, no rushing, and no pressure to perform before you’re ready.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) accelerates recovery by flooding the body with oxygen at higher-than-normal pressure — which reduces inflammation, speeds tissue repair, and supports the kind of adaptation you want from training. At RRR, you can combine a 1-to-1 PT session with Abi followed by an HBOT session on the same day, at the same location, designed as a unit. This is particularly effective for clients recovering from surgery, managing chronic inflammation, or training at performance level. No other PT setup in the area offers this.

Not just suitable — it’s one of the most important things you can do. After menopause, oestrogen drops significantly, which affects bone density, muscle retention, recovery speed, and body composition. The training that worked in your 30s will work differently now, and that’s not a problem to manage — it’s a biology to understand. Abi has lived experience of menopause transitions and has trained many women over 50 and post-menopause. She builds programmes that account for hormonal reality, not generic fitness templates, including the right kind of resistance training, recovery spacing, and nutrition support to see real results.

Most gym PTs are generalists working on the gym floor with multiple clients, minimal privacy, and a standard programme library. Abi is a specialist working in a completely private studio with a single focus: you. She has advanced expertise in menopause-aware training, post-surgical recovery, and women’s performance over 40 — which the vast majority of gym PTs simply don’t have. She also integrates nutrition as standard, and can build your training plan around RRR’s therapy suite in a way no gym-based PT can offer. If you want someone to count your reps, a gym PT will do. If you want someone to understand why your body responds the way it does and train you accordingly, that’s a different conversation.

Yes, and this is something Abi understands from the inside. She has been through a hysterectomy herself and rebuilt her own strength and fitness post-surgery — which means she knows exactly what the recovery timeline feels like, what “good days” and “hard days” look like, and how to progress safely without setbacks. Training after a hysterectomy requires careful attention to core rehabilitation, hormonal changes, and graduated load — Abi designs around all of it. Many of her clients have come to her specifically because they couldn’t find a PT who understood what they’d been through. Now they have one.

Honest answer: it depends on your goal, your starting point, and how your body is responding. Most clients begin to notice meaningful changes in strength, energy, and body composition within 6–8 weeks of consistent sessions. For post-surgical clients, progress is measured differently at first — re-establishing safe movement, rebuilding core function, and restoring confidence — and that’s valuable even when the scale or strength numbers aren’t moving dramatically. Abi will be straight with you about what realistic progress looks like for your specific situation. She’d rather give you an honest timeline than sell you a 12-week promise.

Yes — and this combination is something RRR is uniquely positioned to offer. Cryotherapy after a training session significantly reduces inflammation and accelerates muscle recovery, which means you recover faster and can train more effectively in subsequent sessions. HBOT pre- or post-training supports tissue repair and oxygen delivery to muscles. You can book PT + cryotherapy or PT + HBOT back-to-back on the same visit — Abi and the therapy team work together to sequence sessions appropriately for your goals. It’s available to all PT clients and doesn’t require a separate referral.
