JO JOSE – Founder of iHELP & Therapy Support
Working as a full-time volunteer in the 1980's at Scosa Centre and the Crippled Children's Association Regency Park (CCA) brought about my passion to help people of all ages to reach their full potential. This journey lead to the creation of iHELP & Therapy Support.
This inspired me to expand my knowledge into becoming a qualified Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer which also lead me into diversifying into conducting various group and individual exercise programs for all ages.
My career path has evolved from working alongside children with special needs to having an interest in working with older adults, through leading Strength for Life (exercise programs and classes for adults 50yr+) and Aqua Aerobic classes which has provided me with substantial experience within the industry.
OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE DISABILITY SECTOR
Having worked in the disability sector at Novita Children’s Services (previously CCA) in Allied Health, across multi-disciplinary teams, ie physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology, I provide a holistic individual approach. In obtaining a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with individuals who have physical and intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injury and autism I have recently expanded on that knowledge to be inclusive of delivering exercise programs to people with disabilities and with older adults in the community.
I have a strong positive and functional approach to exercise, focusing on increasing your independence, mobility and total well being and value the importance of making it relevant and fun.
iHELP breaks through the boundaries of your perceived physical limitations by maximising your full potential in physical activity. Whatever your goal, iHELP will support you in reaching your goal by designing and supporting you with a personalised exercise and/or therapy program that is functional, progressive and fun just for you!
