Case Study: Denise Tillock's Journey with Diabetes, Osteoarthritis & Myopathy
Condition
81 year old with diabetes, a cardiac condition, hypertensive, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, hip and shoulder
arthritis, low stamina, lower-body myopathy and weakness due to side-effects of
Statins and was at times wheelchair bound.
Intervention:
- Denise started KineDek sessions on 19 September 2022.
- On the initial session her hip pain due to arthritis disappeared and her mobility was increased. She reported to be easily out of breath when walking which she is now able to do.
- Deadlift was added the following week with significant lower-body strength development in weeks to follow – 10kg out of breath to 21kg not out of breath by last session.
- She reports significant increase in stamina and was no longer out of breath on longer walks.
Outcome:
Normal functionality with no signs of lower body weakness or
arthritic pain. Significantly improved sleep, mood and energy. She also
indicated steady weight loss, and improved overall muscle tone, including
noticeable muscle development in the abdominal area, shoulders arms and
legs. Skin tone also improved with increased muscle size and decrease flab
around the arms.
Denise is a former Pick 'n Pay executive. The picture below on the right is after 11 months of doing sessions. The photo was taken after trying on her daughter’s dress for an upcoming ball on a Mediterranean cruise. None of her own clothes fit anymore—not even the ones she bought just a few months ago for the trip.
The picture to the left and video below was taken after 6 months after starting KineDek sessions noting that muscle and strength development precedes overall weight loss.
