Parkour physio

Three months ago, I said goodbye to my friend and former patient, parkour athlete Naomi Honey, as she disappeared for a 6 month trip to South America.

Two months ago, Naomi contacted me to tell me she'd fallen while surfing and seriously damaged her knee.

We corresponded for a few days, she sending me her scans and doctors' reports, me responding with advice on self-care and exercises.  But it quickly became clear that she needed expert physiotherapy.

Naomi's been home for six weeks now.  When I first saw her, she couldn't fully bend or straighten her knee, was wearing a brace and walking with difficulty.  She had a grade 2 ligament sprain and was - understandably - pretty miserable.

But since then, she's had a course of physio with me, and has been attending Helen's knee classes - and has been practising her exercises at home.  Naomi is desperate to get back to Brazil next week, and so she's been really dedicated to getting better.

She's just made me the most amazing thank-you video  (above), simply called "Moving Again".  The results speak for themselves - can you tell which knee she damaged?

If you're have a sports injury, the sooner you come in for an assessment the better - call us on 0207 175 0150 and let's get you up and moving again!  And Naomi - we hope you have a fantastic time in Brazil!
