Hello, I’m John, founder of VP Wellbeing CIC, based in Runcorn and supporting communities across Cheshire and Merseyside. I’m a personal trainer with over 25 years of experience, and I specialise in cancer rehabilitation.
I set up VP Wellbeing in 2017 after seeing first-hand just how few resources there were to support people recovering from cancer in our local area. That didn’t sit right with me, so I decided to do something about it. Now, through VP Wellbeing, I help people rebuild their strength, confidence, and wellbeing after cancer treatment.
My approach is a bit different. I use toning tables, not for beauty purposes, but as a gentle, supportive tool for rehabilitation. They’re fantastic for helping people ease back into movement, especially when energy levels are low or mobility is limited. Whether someone’s recovering from surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, I focus on helping them take safe, manageable steps towards feeling like themselves again.
You might know me through the STARTING OVER project at the Delamere Centre at Halton Hospital. I was proud to be part of that for some time, supporting people as they begin to rebuild their lives post-treatment. It’s all about making recovery not just possible, but positive.
If you or someone you know is looking for a friendly, understanding, and experienced helping hand during recovery, I’m here. At VP Wellbeing, you’re never just a patient, you’re a person, and I’ll support you every step of the way.
