He comments:
“Regular treatment helps to keep my muscles loose so that I am ready to either train again or race at my best. I also benefit from constant work on scar tissue from an old leg fracture which can restrict me without routine attention. With treatment and advice from Carole I have progressed from training once a week and taking days to recover to training every day.”
