Kat wanted my help in improving her fitness and strength as she was due to complete a particularly challenging hike in the Himalayas including a climb up mountain Manashu! Assessments confirmed that Kat had hypermobility in addition to some other movement issues.
In our sessions, we focused on proprioception (body awareness) and strengthening key areas of her body that would help keep it in the correct alignment. To make things a little trickier, we also had to contend with a knee injury picked up during a long weekend hike. However, with some minor adjustments to her training we were able work around this.
I am pleased to say Kat completed her mammoth hiking challenge without hiccup and got to the top of that mountain!
I’ve been training with Will for nearly a year. He’s a fantastic PT with an eye for detail who has helped me achieve my fitness goal of climbing a mountain in the Himalayas while dealing with an injury. Will is without doubt professional, motivational and focused BUT more importantly he is great fun, trains creatively and is always encouraging. Best of all he is willing to box with me at 6.30 in the morning despite my record for missing the target!!
