Competitive Crossfit After An ACL Rupture As a competitive athlete I have put my body through a whole whirl wind of stressful situations, not only physically but mentally.

‘My shoulders’ ROM is so much better’ Fitness has always been part of my life. I played Rugby to a high level (Llanelli RFC aka The Scarlets), county athletics (13x British champ), swimming, cycling. Last year I became European Crossfit Masters champion. Over the last year my shoulder had got increasingly more sore. Some days the range of motion was so poor that trying to get it overhead was unbearable. This was affecting my work, training and hobbies. I spoke ... read more
