These degenerative changes can begin from an early age, especially in hard training athletes. Clearly ... read more

I have struggled with a knee issue throughout my career. My most recent injury was during sparring when I threw a low kick that landed awkwardly and my knee hyperextended. It’s been a weakness since I injured it playing football when I was 19. The guys from GLC2000 got in touch to see if I’d be interested in seeing if they could help speed my recovery up. Of course I jumped at the chance (not literally mind). So knee operation ... read more

Getting back to training after I tore my patella tendon Last September (2012) I tore my patella tendon which meant a break from training 3 months and a long road to recovery. As the tear was less than 70% the surgeon would not operate and said it would heal ‘in time’ with rehab! Recovery was extremely slow due to muscle wastage, loss of mobility and general soreness in the knee joint from lack of use. I was recommended GLC2000 by ... read more

I’ve been there; sidelined by a major joint injury. But even after recovery, I dealt with nagging pains which led to insecurity in the ... read more

I have suffered from a shoulder impingement for over a year, in fact last year it was so bad I couldn’t lift any weights at all and being a keen CrossFitter that wasn’t good. In last year’s CrossFit Games Open I could only manage 1 Wall Ball (sad ... read more
