If you can’t prevent your injuries, at least seek the right cure

BY Wendy Enn

After a record breaking relay race and two 100m races (which both are season best) from 77^th Singapore Open 2015, my legs started stiffening up, restricting my movement and I can barely walk. I was recently properly and correctly diagnosed (by Movement Mechanics) with severe nerve irritation from lower back down. I would think that I am properly diagnosed because I am getting better without the ice and painful massages (the usual treatment) and I can push my limits far more than I can ever imagine. The ironic thing is, as a national athlete, I do get support from the Singapore Sports Institute since 2012, unfortunately, after my every visit, my condition deteriorates and it gets more and more unbearable.

With this condition, I can never train at my hundred percent even, if I want to because it flares up too easily and suddenly walking seems to be a problem too.

The right cure – Fabian Williams coaching concepts, Movement Mechanics physiotherapy and Belle clinic. Fabian William, coach, who has been working on my sprint technique and correction since last year, December. Movement Mechanics – head physiotherapist, Jindee, has been working to get me better and stronger by correcting my movement mechanics (walking) and rehabilitation since last year, December. Last but not least, Belle clinic’s Dr Cormac, whom I am working with recently and currently, has been reassessing my condition and started treating me. All three companies are on its own, however, they are actively communicating to get me better, faster and stronger.
