Following Kelly Lam achievement with her training with me, this is HER story.
I injured my ‘shoulder’ about 8 years ago and it has caused me issues on and off over the years.
I found this to be manageable, with regular deep tissue massage. However, I now realise, I’ve only ever been managing the symptoms
As lockdown showed me, when I wasn’t able to access my treatments, my symptoms were the worst they’ve ever been and Lyn urged me to take a rehab course with Caroline.
I was sceptical of course, after all, I had already seen a chiropractor, an NHS physio and a private physio and had resigned myself to a lifetime of merely being able to manage the symptoms.
However, I was also fed up, and willing to try anything – so I met with Caroline and signed up with her for a 6 week rehab course.
Within about 10 minutes of our first session, Caroline advised that she did not think I had a shoulder problem at all, but an upper back problem as there was no movement (even though it felt like there was haha!) and the pain in my shoulder was likely to be referred pain.
Still sceptical, but ok, Caroline designed exercises to increase mobility & strength in the upper back.
We got started and I was weak, it will stick with me forever! Trying to push 5kg and not being able to do it and Caroline telling me it was as light as it goes…. It felt at that moment 100kg
The weeks went on, and my mobility & strength increased and my passion for weight training began!
I am no longer a sceptic, I have a range of movement in upper back and my SHOULDER has NEVER hurt again!
Caroline is so knowledgeable about the body and pushes you to your limit.
I have learnt a lot over the past year with Caroline and feel great (and I look better to boot!)
To sum up, I have gone from crying (literally) at 5kg, to deadlifting 100kg and I blooming love every second of it.
I would definitely recommend Caroline if you are struggling to get back into fitness or have an injury.
I would also recommend Caroline if you've been thinking about weightlifting, but have been daunted by the prospect of this of not knowing where to start, she is a fountain of knowledge and it's not just for the blokes!
Thank you so much Kelly for your story, I am so happy to have met you and helped you become strong and pain free. Your story is so inspiring and I absolutely love every session I spend training you and seeing the progression you make 🤩
