Welcome

Welcome to Specialist Conditioning from EssexTraining.com

I’m Paul Connolly and I was one of the UK’s first celebrity personal trainers and am proud to say that I have helped thousands of people get pain free, fit, healthy and change their lives over the last 30 years (yes, I’m older than many PTs, but a lot more experienced!)

I work in my private studio with clients of all ages to improve their quality of life – often avoiding harsh medical and surgical options through a personalised programme of physical rehabilitation, exercise and massage. 

I am especially proud of my recent work with scoliosis and back & neck pain sufferers, we have seen surgical procedures cancelled, pain reduced and confidence and mobility restored! You can see more about my work on rehabilitation and scoliosis here.

“Hi Paul,
I used to attend your boxerobics class in a little dance studio off Oxford Street probably about 11 or 12 years ago. It was the best training i have ever done, and i’m wondering if you have a book or DVD that covers all the exercises in your routine. I have been in the middle of Pennsylvania in the States for the last 5 years, nothing comes close to any of the workouts that i did with you.”  Roy Hampton *

Back and Neck pain, Physical Rehabilitation and Scoliosis

Physical Rehabilitation

Gaskin facebook back

Paul has over 30 years experience successfully working with clients and increasingly those who are looking for physical rehabilitation or massage therapy for conditions affecting all areas of the body.

Paul works with clients of all backgrounds and ages experiencing a wide range of conditions or injuries and he is increasingly called upon for his specialised work dealing with scoliosis.

Back and Neck conditions and scoliosis

Having a client who had been informed they would need surgery to correct scoliosis, Paul created a custom programme – he and the client were amazed at the results – given there was apparently no option other than surgery.

Paul has gone on to work with clients of all ages and is incredibly proud of the results they are achieving – in many cases seeing surgery cancelled and clients experiencing loss of pain and increased mobility.

“I was first diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 14. Ever since then I have visited chiropractors, physical therapists and doctors to try and keep the scoliosis at bay.

Jenna-compositeThe pain really started when I was 22 and at 23 I was referred to the national orthopedic hospital at Stanmore. I was x rayed and diagnosed with over a 60 degree upper curve. The doctor at Stanmore strongly recommended I get an operation to straighten the curve or my scoliosis would worsen with age. I was reluctant to have this operation as the risks were high and It would have put me out of action for 6 months maybe more.

My boyfriend was seeing Paul for some personal training and spoke to him about my scoliosis. Paul invited me down to see if there was anything that he could do. I was skeptical but willing to try anything

I am now only 6 weeks in and through a combination of sports massage and muscle strengthening on my weaker side twice a week i have seen a dramatic change in appearance and more importantly the pain factor. I was in agony just doing everyday tasks such a standing up and it was making me miserable. Now I feel more flexible and strong and the pain has improved so much it’s hard to put it into words. Paul has literally worked a miracle and done in 6 weeks what doctors couldn’t do in 10 years. He saved me from a life altering operation and for the first time in years I’m not worried 🙂

Thanks Paul you legend!!!!! Xxxx” Jenna *
