Hear from our Stretching Course Participant Hadiya

Hadiya Yasin Yahya 53 years Malta, Duhok (Host Community) “The Stretching Course has made me believe that every woman should spend at least one hour on exercising or any form of self-care. From my time at the Center I have learnt not to put myself in the backseat of the journey of life and stop making excuses about work or family, and be committed because a healthy woman means a healthy family” Hadiya had a prolapsed disc, and the issue was causing her a lot of pain which was hard to endure. She would go to many doctors and take different types of medicine, but the pain was still there. The pain from her back caused her a lot of discomfort. Simple moves like bending or lying on bed were challenging. She couldn’t move while in bed for fear of pain from her spine. Hadiya heard of the Stretching course offered at Weh center from her relatives, and enrolled herself. The course took into consideration her age and physical ability and accordingly adapted the exercises that would benefit her. By the end of the course, she feels that her flexibility has improved, there is a reduction in the pain and discomfort and she is moving around more than she did before. This has also helped with her mental health and she feels happier and more energetic now. She has stopped visiting the doctor she used to go to, as her back pain has considerably improved.
