Results from Sports Kinesiology

Louise, a 25 year old Personal Trainer and fitness centre manager, describes her experience with Sports Kinesiology:

"I began suffering knee pain and a locking sensation in my knee last year both during and post training. Becoming increasingly frustrated with the pain, I went to see a prominent Sports Doctor who briefly examined my knee and was adamant I required an MRI on both knees to identify what the problem was. $500 later I returned to this Sports Doctor who briefly looked at the MRI scans and told me that he couldn't see anything wrong with the knee and that I should just take anti-inflammatory tablets for the pain.
The pain continued, so earlier this year a friend referred me to a Sports Kinesiology Practitioner. After just one session my knee felt 80% better. After two sessions less than two months later my knee was 100% and I was back into full training and no longer experiencing pain in my knee throughout the day or as a result of training. I highly recommend Sports Kinesiology as a treatment to anybody who is searching for answers and wants effective and lasting results."

What students say about studying Sports Kinesiology

"Since starting as a Personal Trainer I have always been looking for a way to 'get the edge' with my clients. I had exhausted nearly every option until I happened to stumble across Sports Kinesiology. What a dream come true! I now have the tools to break through any blocks my clients have been experiencing and the referrals have kept on coming in. Thank you Sports Kinesiology for helping me help others!"
