Sarah Russell is a clinical exercise and Pilates specialist for people with cancer. She is also trained to deliver classes to those who have had stoma surgery. Sarah has a stoma herself, and offers specialist knowledge of abdominal surgery and rehab.
Sarah will offer different exercises to suit different needs and fitness levels. Her classes will be a mix of strengthening exercises, core work, and Pilates.
Please note that if you have recently had surgery you must be at least 6 weeks post-op to take part.
Please consult with your doctor before taking up any new form of exercise. Sarah's role is to provide verbal and visual guidance on how to stay active at home, and neither she nor Ovacome can accept any liability for injury.
