The information and movement sessions provided by Alex CJ Movement, including Reclaim Your Back Story, are for general movement and educational purposes only.
Alex Johnson is trained in Merrithew/STOTT Pilates Matwork and Reformer and has completed Level 3 training with The Neuro Studio, alongside further specialist movement education. Alex is not a doctor, physiotherapist or regulated healthcare professional.
The course does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, physiotherapy, rehabilitation treatment or individual healthcare advice and should not be used as a substitute for these services.
Before You Begin
Reclaim Your Back Story is designed to help you explore movement at home at your own pace. It is not designed to diagnose or treat the cause of pain.
Bodies, medical histories and circumstances differ. You are responsible for deciding whether a movement is appropriate for you and for working within your own comfortable range.
You do not need to push through pain to benefit from movement.
If something feels wrong, causes significant or increasing pain, or produces symptoms that concern you, stop and seek appropriate professional advice.
Please seek appropriate medical or professional advice before starting the course if:
• you are pregnant or have recently given birth and are unsure whether exercise is appropriate for you;
• you have recently had surgery or a significant injury and have not been cleared to return to exercise;
• you have osteoporosis, another condition affecting bone health, or are unsure about your bone health;
• you have a neurological condition or significant cardiovascular condition and have not received appropriate advice about exercise;
• you have new, unexplained or rapidly worsening back pain; or
• a healthcare professional has previously advised you to restrict or avoid exercise.
If you are unsure whether the course is suitable for you, speak to an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before taking part.
Symptoms requiring urgent medical attention
Do not continue with the course and seek urgent medical assessment if you develop symptoms including:
• new loss of bladder or bowel control;
• new numbness or altered sensation around the genitals, buttocks or saddle area;
• rapidly worsening weakness or loss of sensation; or
• severe or rapidly worsening symptoms that cause you concern.
These symptoms can have causes requiring urgent medical assessment and should not be managed through an online movement course.
During the sessions
Move at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
You can pause, modify or stop a movement at any time. You do not need to match Alex's range of movement, speed or number of repetitions.
Make sure you have enough clear space to move safely and use suitable equipment where a session requires it.
If you feel dizzy, faint, unusually short of breath, unwell, or experience significant or increasing pain, stop exercising and seek appropriate advice.
Pain and results
Pain is complex and individual. The presence or absence of pain during a movement does not, by itself, tell you the cause of your symptoms.
No claim is made that Reclaim Your Back Story will diagnose, treat, cure or prevent back pain or any medical condition.
Individual experiences and results vary. Testimonials and Alex's own experience are examples of individual experiences and are not guarantees that you will achieve the same outcome.
Your responsibility
By choosing to participate, you acknowledge that physical activity carries some inherent risk and that you are responsible for working within your own capabilities and seeking professional advice when appropriate.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
