Smooth Recovery, thanks to Green Apple!

"Hi, my name is Kim and I have been a member of the Green Apple Wellness Centre since October 2022. I have just turned 59 and three months ago I had a total hip replacement due to severe arthritis.

I am certain the program Charlie designed for me helped with my time in hospital and recovery at home. Because of the pain I was in over the last couple of years, I couldn't do a lot of lower body work so most of the exercises I did were to strengthen my upper body. This helped me a great deal when I had to manoeuvre myself in and out of bed.

Eight weeks after surgery I returned to the Green Apple but was only using the treadmill as my surgeon had been very good in telling me what I was not allowed to do and actually made me scared to do much in case I dislocated my new hip. I did keep up with the exercises from the in-patient rehab centre I stayed at which helped strengthen my muscles.

I had been planning to schedule a plan review with Charlie for the day the hip precautions would be lifted (12 weeks post-surgery) but I spoke to Victoria when I visited Green Apple on the Labour Day public holiday, and she told me I could (and should) be doing more.

Thanks to Victoria's advice, I saw Bridie on 14 May and started a new program to get me up and moving earlier than I had originally thought I could. I have now been doing that new program for two weeks and can feel the improvement every day.

I don't think my recovery would have gone as smoothly if I hadn't had the preparation Charlie's plan gave me, the advice from Victoria that I could be moving more and the new program from Bridie."

Thankyou Kim for sharing your story, we will continue to inspire you. Glad you are apart of the Green Apple Community.

My Journey... Members Inspiring Others
By Meryl Rowe

"My Journey with Green Apple started many years ago, prior to moving to Bribie Island. During my ‘first’ membership at Green Apple, Katrina designed my programs to fit with my goals.
What drew me to Green Apple was the ethos and dedication to members from Victoria, she has always been an inspiration me. Her knowledge is vast and varied and she is always learning new things. I also feel the Centre is a safe space, a safe space to me is one that you can be yourself, without judgement on your weight, your fitness level, your disabilities or the clothes you wear.
I rejoined Green Apple Wellness for several reasons after we moved back to Deception Bay Firstly, I need a knee replacement. I am also overweight but had dropped some 17 kilos before I rejoined. Now I am up to 24+ kilos gone. I also have had balance problems causing quite a few falls, nothing broken though (think my fairy Godmother looks after me).
I met with Charlie who started me on a program to get me mobile again and to keep losing weight but most importantly to strengthen my body. Charlie was extremely patient with me, listening and guiding me. I can report that the falls have stopped. He tailored the program to suit me finding what I enjoyed which helps motivate me to attend and keep improving.
Recently I have been undergoing remedial massages with Victoria as I injured my knee, which made walking painful. After the first treatment I was back to my program. Her knowledge and deep understanding of how ‘our body parts work or work against us’ is amazing. She has worked on my fascia - connective tissue that supports our muscles, bones, organs, joints and blood vessels. No one I have ever had a massage with has this in-depth knowledge. This alone makes Green Apple Wellness unique. The added programs that members can access also puts Green Apple out on its own in the wellness field.
When I walk in I am always greeted by a smiling person on Reception. They can get very busy but every now and then I get to talk to one of them to get to know them a little more. I was very happy to see several ‘old’ faces when I rejoined - It felt like home, it felt safe, it felt like where I wanted to spend time improving myself. I knew my ‘team” Charlie and Victoria had my back for which I am grateful.
The inspiration I draw from other members, is another reason our Centre is so motivating.
We have all the tools to help us, we just need to do the work.
Thank you to all Green Apple staff and in particular to Victoria, I salute you."

Thankyou Meryl for sharing your journey at Green Apple Wellness Centre, we love members inspiring others.

What's Happening At The Green Apple

The Aqua classes here at The Green Apple have become a very social community hub, not only are they all enjoying the benefits of warm water exercises on their joints, as many in the class prefer this type of exercise, they are also encouraging and supporting each other during class and getting together for a coffee afterwards

This community even has their own “uniform” as seen in the photos

Come along and join in the fun of Aqua!
