I first approached Marek with pains in my butt, which I had been treated for by numerous Physio`s but the injury (Piriformis Syndrome) always returned within 3-4 months of running. Really I was clutching at straws and was losing faith in these so called experts.
My first session was the usual getting to know you bit, and then Marek got down to business. I was curious at first, as Marek treated (unlike my previous physiotherapy) the surrounding muscles of the injury and took no prisoners regarding his deep massage. My hamstrings were so tight I was unable to get anywhere to the point of touching my toes.
I walked out of the consulting room bemused; I could actually get near to touching my toes! Within 3-4 sessions I was running without any pain in the butt and I was able to touch my toes (flexibility was returning to the old boy). Marek explained everything he did and why, also gave me stretching exercises to do at home (he knows his stuff).
I confidently contact Marek with any injury problems that I have and have never been fobbed of by him. Marek shows interest in me as a person as well as a client and spends time (every session) talking over things, it is as though time is not an issue. I would recommend Marek to anyone who is suffering from a sports injury or daily life pulls and strains.
Thank you Marek for all your wisdom. |
