Jez, one of our patients, recently attended the 17th World Dragon Boat Championships in Brandenburg in Germany representing Team GB Senior C (60)
Jez has received physio from Catherine since leaving the military.
He sustained several injuries to his spine, horse tail (nerves) and suffers from chronic pain.
Through regular treatment and hard training to address his injuries, he has been able to surpass all expectations
Last year he raced for Team GB Paradragons and won silver in the 2k race
He made it his plan of action on his 60th birthday to trial for the Grands Senior C Squad which is the able bodies squad.
Not only was he successful in achieving a place, he became double world champion in the 2k and 1k distances
This is a massive achievement on its own - but they didn't stop there - they also collected a bronze medal in the Blue Ribbon 500m event
Jez is an inspiration to us All
Congratulations Jez from everyone at Team Abbey
