How a 52 Year Old Got Back to Running After Chronic Pain. At 52, our client Jorge had been unable to do something that he loved due to chronic pain. He enjoyed running for fitness, but pain in his ankle, knee and lower back for three years previous had meant he had to stop.
He had visited other physiotherapists to try and solve these problems but nothing seemed to work long term. He started with us in May 2024 and within a few months he was pain free. He has continued to work with us in order to improve his posture and gait, and to make his body more resilient and stronger.
He is now running without any issues and his transformation is clear. Jorge has been a great client and a prime example of what can be achieved when someone really wants to take an active role in solving their problems. He asks questions and always want to understand the root of the issues he has had.
