Personal Training Stories
In my work as a Personal Trainer I work with a Birmingham based disability swimmer who is part of the GB development programme. She developed knee pain on her breaststroke so in our personal training sessions we tried lots of different exercises to try to work out what was causing the problem and eliminate it.
Living in Birmingham, she doesn’t see the GB coaches that often because they are based in Manchester and Bath. We had only a couple of sessions to identify the problem before her next GB meet-up and we wanted to have at least a rough idea so she could ask the GB physiotherapists for advice.
After trying several different exercises I noticed that her foot was rolling out on any type of squat or lunge exercise. Armed with this information, her GB physio and I developed exercises to use in her personal training sessions that corrected the problem.
She has not had significant knee pain for a couple of months and has just swam her fastest ever 100m breaststroke time. She has been moved up a level in the GB development programme and is now probably the youngest funded athlete in the country at 11 years old!
