Medical, Results & Testimonial Disclaimer

1. Medical & Professional Qualifications Disclaimer

This disclosure defines the professional qualifications, scope of practice, and clinical boundaries of Kim Karlsson and PilatesCOREuk Ltd:

• Professional Scope: Kim Karlsson is a certified Level 4 Low Back Pain Rehabilitation Specialist and Clinical Pilates Instructor. She holds advanced specialist qualifications in lower back exercise prescription, core stabilisation biomechanics, and postural re-education.
• Not a Doctor or Surgeon: Kim Karlsson is not a medical doctor, orthopaedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, or medical practitioner. She does not prescribe pharmaceuticals, administer medical injections, or perform medical surgical procedures.
• Educational & Movement Nature: All content, video routines, downloadable guides, articles, and consultation advice provided on backtoyou.pilatescoreuk.com or within the "Back to You" programme are provided exclusively for physical rehabilitation, core strengthening, and educational purposes.
• No Substitute for Primary Medical Care: None of the information on this website should ever be construed as medical diagnosis, medical prognosis, or a substitute for personal examination and care by your General Practitioner (GP), spinal surgeon, or hospital consultant.

2. Urgent "Red Flag" Medical Warning

If you or anyone you know experiences any of the following symptoms, do not begin any exercise programme. You must immediately contact NHS 111, attend your nearest hospital Accident & Emergency (A&E) department, or call 999, as these may indicate acute spinal cord or nerve root compression (such as Cauda Equina Syndrome):

• Loss of sensation or numbness around your saddle area, buttocks, genitals, or inner thighs.
• Sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, difficulty urinating, or inability to feel when you are wiping.
• Rapidly progressive weakness, loss of power, or "foot drop" in one or both legs.
• Severe, unrelenting pain that worsens when resting or waking from sleep, accompanied by unexplained fever, chills, or sudden significant weight loss.

3. Results & Individual Variability Disclaimer

Every spine is anatomically and clinically unique. Chronic back pain stems from diverse pathologies, including lumbar disc herniations, facet joint arthropathy, spinal canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, postural fatigue, and muscle imbalances:

• No Guarantees: PilatesCOREuk Ltd and Kim Karlsson make no express or implied warranties or guarantees that you will achieve complete pain eradication, regain full mobility, or avoid surgery.
• Individual Factors: Your individual progress depends heavily upon factors outside our control, including your starting spinal condition, the duration of your chronic pain, the consistency with which you complete prescribed gentle homework, your adherence to biomechanical coaching, and individual anatomical healing capacity.
• Commitment Required: The 6-Week "Back to You" programme is not a "quick fix" or passive treatment. It requires focused mental engagement, consistent gentle daily practice, and willingness to adapt everyday movement patterns.

4. Client Screening & "Who We Help / Who We Turn Away" Policy

We believe ethical coaching begins with honesty regarding who we can safely help:

• Strict Clinical Screening: We only accept clients whom Kim Karlsson is clinically confident can benefit safely from our Level 4 movement protocols. Every prospective client is thoroughly evaluated through our intake questionnaire and a 30-minute discovery consultation.
• Referral Out / Turning Away Unsuitable Candidates: If during screening or consultation Kim Karlsson determines that your condition involves acute neurological impairment, advanced structural instability requiring surgical assessment, active systemic inflammation, or any factor outside the boundaries of clinical exercise rehabilitation, we will explicitly decline enrolment and refer you to your GP or an orthopaedic specialist.
• Safety First: Turning away candidates when appropriate is a cornerstone of our professional duty of care.

5. Reviews, Testimonials & Case Studies Disclaimer

Throughout our website and promotional materials, we share genuine case studies, video interviews, and written feedback from past clients:

• Voluntary Submission: All testimonials, video interviews, and reviews were provided voluntarily upon request by actual clients who participated in Kim Karlsson's coaching programmes.
• No Compensation: No client was remunerated, paid, gifted free services, or provided financial incentives in exchange for providing a review or testimonial.
• Past Performance: Testimonials reflect the real, personal experiences of those specific individuals. They represent exceptional examples of commitment and should not be considered typical or expected outcomes. Past results do not guarantee future success for any other individual.
