We must explain to you how all seds this mistakens idea off denouncing pleasures and praising pain was born and I will give you a completed accounts off the system and expound.
CASE-SLIDER
Petra came to us around one year ago after developing knee pain when she went running. This was holding her back from being able to cover the distances she needed to, to prepare for various races that she had planned for.
We provided Petra with an assessment and recommended that she undertake a strength programme to supplement her running as well as adjusting her running schedule to allow for adequate recovery and gradual progression.
Petra didn’t like to pace herself and always did more than her training plan said, so this took some time for her to acclimatise to. Since then Petra has gone from strength to strength and has been successfully completing various events including the Brecon Beacons Trail Marathon.
We now work with Petra on a monthly basis to progress and change up her strength programme and check in on her knee and ankle to keep her on track.
Well done Petra! You have smashed it.
Petra had the following to say:
“I first came to Principle Physiotherapy back in February 2021 with injured knee.
I am a runner and over the last lockdown I overtrained and noticeably increased by mileage, which resulted in painful knee and on top of that, my old injury (peroneal tendonitis) has returned.
At that time, when everything was fully locked down, Principle Physiotherapy was the only physio in my area offering face to face appointments. I called up immediately and I was offered my first appointment within days.
Within few months of weekly physiotherapy, my knee pain diminished, and my tendonitis was at manageable level. I found out very early on that with Principle Physiotherapy it was not just about treating the injury but more about teaching you how to manage it and how to progress your training without getting injured again.
After successfully completing my physio course in July, I decided to stay on and train with Dave once a month. With his help I have managed to increase my fitness level with specifically designed weight training to supplement my running.
I just run Brecon Beacons Trail Marathon without any pain at all and for that I thank Dave at Principle Physiotherapy.
I could not recommend them enough 😊”
