<span style="font-weight: 400;">Something we often asked about is example case studies of people who have been to see a Biomechanics Coach</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#x2122;, s</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">o with her permission I wanted to share with you one of mine:</span>
<h3>Gold Medalist &amp; British Champion in Olympic Weightlifting, Laura Hewitt</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Laura has been making a huge impression on the Olympic Weightlifting world! We originally met during some fitness classes I was covering at local chain gym several years ago. She eventually trained and worked there as a personal trainer.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The next time I saw her was while I was training at PowerBase Gym at Loughborough University. This fabulous athlete was literally lifting ridiculous amounts of rubber and steel over her head and onto her shoulders, as I stood watching in awe! She was clearly built to lift with her awesome frame and as I discovered through our conversations, had also come from a competitive gymnastic background. So she was obviously already familiar with the graft and discipline attached to being a high level athlete.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Having been chosen as one of the GB Olympic Lifting potentials she become semi-professional and started her training with the three girls under the guidance of Giles Greenwood. </span>
<h3>The Problem</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">However on one occasion Laura and I were training alone and started chatting. She expressed her problem in being unable to maintain an upright torso during the receive position of her clean and so I offered to screen her. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">(The receive portion of a clean is a full range deep squat taking the full force of a loaded barbell dropping onto the front of the shoulders) </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Screening her was really quite fascinating as she moved really well but still had some of the most common dysfunctions I often see. However the difference with a true athlete like Laura is: </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">a). They get it</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">b). They do their homework</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">c). They can see the difference in their performance</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">d). They LOVE anything that gives them an edge!</span>

<h3>The Solution</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The buzz I personally get is seeing performance improve using simple techniques from the iMoveFreely</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> programme. Would you believe a low grade 20% effort muscle energy technique (<a href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/1333-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ribot-Ciscar et al, 1991</a>) for the pelvis and then pec minor, were 2 of the key influencers on improving her clean receive position!? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Just brilliant!!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Easy to perform anti spasms, nerve mobilisations along with specific and very ‘pure’ joint mobility techniques, really DO enable ‘capacity’ for movement throughout ‘the integrated system’.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This little pocket rocket is already making waves in the comps! She is now a PT and Olympic Lifting Coach at a local Strength and Performance Gym in Nottingham called </span><a href="http://rwfgym.co.uk"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">REAL WORLD FITNESS</span></i></a><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></i>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">She is such a determined and committed lifter that she spends quality time on smart training. She worked on the iMoveFreely</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> techniques I gave her and within literally just 2 weeks she saw a great improvement in her front squat position and clean technique without gaining any body weight herself.</span>
<h3>The Result</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">With her Gold Medal for the British Championship now in place, she really is growing in confidence about what she can be truly capable of. Clearly it is not ALL down to the iMoveFreely</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> programme but also the blend of fabulous coaches involved in Laura’s training. All will have a had an impact in some small way even though ultimately it is Laura who has done ALL of the hard work. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Developing her capacity, patterns, skill, technique, power, strength and performance. This fabulous athlete now invests in coaching from the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Cyril Martin (my first ever lifting coach whom Laura originally recommended to me) and together they will, I am confident, take her back to the podium!</span>
