“What do you think about the prospect of Swedish Fascia Vibes treating a groin injury on a football player?”

The question came from the 29 year old Christian Kpobi who had heard about Swedish Fascia Vibes treatment and gotten interested. He had even heard that the treatment never fails, which gave him an even stronger reason for wanting to try it.

 

After the end of last season (2016) Christian rested from training for a couple of weeks and focused on work instead. Little by little he took up training again; at the gym and running. A week or so later he met up with a team of players for a pickup game. Immediately afterward he felt that something was not right in the groin area and not before long did he get acute pain and had problems moving. He rested for a while and then tried to jog a little but the pain was just too severe.

I wanted to sort the problem out straight away in order to get a headstart and prepare well before the coming season. And since I had heard about the fantastic results from Swedish Fascia Vibes treatment, naturally I wanted to try it as my first alternative.

Märta Lindqvist was able to see Christian with short notice and tells us:

Christian’s entire back and shoulder area was very tense and his left side, from neck to the pelvis was shorter than the right side. Since the left lumbar and hip was completely locked and tense, the groin had to over compensate; it stuck because the adductors and perhaps mostly m. gracilis had over stretched and were over worked.

I worked mostly with back, hips, outer thighs and hip flexors. The front side of the hip was so numb that the pelvis had pulled sideways, upward-forward to the left. I did not really do much about the tender gracilis, but focused on releasing the left back side and opening up the hip joint.

“I was so surprised at how effective the treatment had been. Before it I had hardly been able to walk properly”

After his first treatment he left straight for work – a 12 hour night shift – and didn’t rest after the treatment, which perhaps was not ideal. But as soon as two days after he felt 90% cured. Even the back pain after the heavy work load was gone.

The day after he trained at the gym. He felt nothing after lifting or running, but didn’t want to take for granted that the groin pain was completely gone; not before he had been playing football. I was so surprised at how effective the treatment had been. Before it I had hardly been able to walk properly.

Christian’s first real football training started fine but after a while a vague pain in the groin appeared. It was a great improvement but I was not 100% cured, and that is what I have to be in order to train hard for the season.

Märta treated Christian a second time and the day after he experienced no pain. Considering how much it used to hurt I never dreamed of or hoped for this great result! I feel no pain what so ever and I can train full speed. Märta also gave me some useful stretch exercises that I now do every day.
