We aren’t over the marathon success stories just yet!
Here’s another story worth celebrating! 🏃♀️
Paula’s been coming to ProSport for a few years now, and more recently she came to us with lower back, glute, and lateral hip pain — all tracing back to an old ankle injury.
She was deep into marathon training when the pain flared up, and running started to feel unbearable.
With just three weeks to go until race day, we had a tough call to make.
After a full assessment, we figured out that the muscles around her ankle weren’t doing enough, which left her glutes taking on too much work — right where she was feeling the pain.
So, we got to work. Paula committed to twice-weekly sessions with Sarah and Chris, combining hands-on treatment and targeted rehab exercises. Bit by bit, she started to get back into running.
The week before the marathon, Sarah gave her the green light — and Paula went on to complete her first Manchester Marathon! 🎉
From feeling 50/50 about even making it to the start line… to crossing the finish line. Her determination and grit over those final weeks was seriously impressive — and that deserves a medal on its own.
Massive well done, Paula! 👏
