Cerys' Journey

Let me introduce myself, my name is Cerys, I’m the mother of two children and a vet. Having had all of my children now, last one born in November, I am really keen to get involved in sport again.

 

My core and my pelvic floor need to be strengthened so I can begin exercise again and get into good shape. I am probably approaching perimenopause in the next 10 to 15 years. This is the time around menopause when your ovaries gradually stop working and is a natural process that causes physical and emotional symptoms such as changes in the menstrual cycle, hot flushes, night sweats and brain fog. If, by signing up for a series of treatments on the Emsculpt Neo at Guernsey Skin & Beauty, it tones me up and improves my appearance then that is a bonus too.

 

Historically, I have played quite high impact sports such as touch rugby and football and would love to get out on the pitch again or go for a run. But that’s the last thing on my list now. My daughter is just eight months old so running is still difficult because of the impact. Maybe swimming, a brisk walk or a light jog but running is still out unfortunately. 

 

With two young children and a demanding job I am “time-poor” so the Neo is a great way of preparing me to take up sport when I have a bit more time. The sessions are fun and its much-needed time away from the demands of childcare – it’s “Cerys Time”.

 

When I leave a Neo session it’s like I’ve had an intense workout and a spa visit at the same time which I’ve really enjoyed. I initially felt guilty investing time in myself, but it really helped to make me feel happier and physically stronger. It’s given me real confidence for when I return to doing core exercises.

 

The Neo paddles, which are attached to me during the sessions, do look a bit like a defibrillator. The sensation is quite unusual. It’s not painful and you get used to it very quickly but the contractions and the feeling in your muscles is very intense. It’s a feeling I wasn’t used to but because it is so rhythmic, it is quite meditative and I relaxed into it.

 

I have now had the full course of four sessions and my core is strong. I am confident that I can start doing more intensive exercise without worrying whether my body can do it or I might exacerbate some underlying weakness. The feeling is of having done lots of exercise and building lots of muscles.

 

If you are reading this and considering whether the Neo is the right course of action for you, if you want to shape up a little bit, return to sport or invest some time and money into feeling better, then I would say ‘give it a go”. I’m very pleased that I did!
