    About 3 of my clients, an athlete and 2 normal people who were in pain. Episode #2

    A story of 3 clients. A high performing athlete and two normal people who just loved their endurance sport but couldn't do it due to pain. You might be surprised how many times a client comes to me for the physical performance or an injury and we end up solving it through many levels of stress management and mental tactics (it often is a mental game, as the body and the mind work together). Client 1: Was unable to release her stress through running due to injury. What can we do for stress relief when we don't have running or any exercise for that matter? She was feeling stressed all the time due to work and life pressures, and not being able to train due to injury. Fast forward to now feeling healthy, training again and in control. I share what we did together to get her to this place. Client 2: Was getting increasingly frustrated with herself as she could no longer cycle and play with her young son because her back and neck pain was getting increasingly worse. She too was stressed and we soon realised the stress was increasing her pain. Now she rides effortlessly and enjoys playing with her son. Client 3: Was the endurance athlete plagued with recurring injuries over her 20 year career.  It turns out she was under-eating (yes that is a thing and the solution wasn't about simply 'increasing her calories' either). I explain to you how she has turned her aching back and her body around.. and now performs much better and enjoys her training again. I also discuss why it's so important to assess each person's body before prescribing exercises. Because healthy athletes are fast athletes, - Heidi PS.
