Three and a half years ago I was getting out of my car at a local supermarket when I was jolted with a tremendous pain go down my right leg and into my foot right through to my toes, I had never felt pain quite like if before, but even being in absolute agony I tried to get back into my car to get home as soon as I could, but that was impossible.
Since that day I spent 4 months off work walking to a local physio every other day for treatment, I had several MRI scans and kept seeing the physio once a month, and although the physio did a marvellous job to get me back to work and keep me mobile, there didn’t seem to be any real end in sight.
I joined Bannatynes Gym in late 2016 and started to train on machines with low weights to see if I could get back my fitness, as I had when I used to train in my younger years on a regular basis, I felt sitting at a desk all day 5 -7 days a week for the last thirty years with just walking at weekends was not doing my body any favours, at this point my Physio and I decided he had got me back on my feet and kept me mobilised but had come to the end of all he could do for me.
Then one day in the gym my wife noticed on the board outside the entrance to the gym floor than one of the personal trainer’s specialised in lower back and hip issues, with that I made an appointment to see Ziggi.
At our first meeting I gave Ziggi my clinical report from the hospital regarding my spine and hip issues, after reading the report Ziggi checked out all my muscles and told me he could help with the mobility and the pain but it could take several months.
Ziggi put together a plan to loosen up all my tight muscles especially my inner core and my glutes in order to give me stability and strength to overcome my back and hip issues.
I have been seeing Ziggi now for almost three months and I feel so much more mobile than ever since the start of my back issues, Ziggi’s knowledge of the human anatomy is just absolutely amazing.
I feel stronger and so much more like my old self, I will keep on seeing Ziggi as he is the only person who understands my back issues and knows how to go about relieving the problems I feel I am 75 % on the way to recovery, I would not hesitate in recommending Ziggi to anyone needing a personal training, he is a great person his expanse of knowledge is unbelievable.
