🎱 FROM BED BOUND TO BACK TO THE SNOOKER TABLE 🎱
A fantastic recovery update for professional snooker player Ian Burns Snooker Coaching .
Just a couple of weeks ago, Ian found himself in excruciating back pain after suffering a serious injury whilst on a fairground ride.
The injury triggered a severe back spasm and left Ian with a significant biomechanical imbalance. At its worst, he was virtually bed bound, struggling to stand upright or move comfortably.
Unfortunately, the injury also meant Ian had to withdraw from three professional snooker tournaments while he concentrated on getting himself fit and healthy again.
Because travelling simply wasn’t possible in those early stages, I travelled to Ian’s home in Preston on a couple of occasions to begin hands-on treatment and rehabilitation.
At John Cox Health & Sports Therapy Practice, we believe that when somebody genuinely needs our help, sometimes we have to take the treatment to them. 🙌
🎱 WHAT A DIFFERENCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS CAN MAKE!
Yesterday, Ian was able to make the journey to our practice under his own steam — something that would have seemed a long way off only a couple of weeks ago.
Following his fourth treatment, we were able to progress to a more intensive hands-on session, working further on his mobility, posture and biomechanics.
The improvement has been tremendous.
Ian is standing upright again, moving far more freely and, most importantly, beginning to regain the confidence to return to the professional game he loves. 🎱
He’s now going to enjoy a very well-deserved holiday, before tentatively returning to the practice table and gradually preparing himself for a return to the professional snooker circuit.
From being virtually bed bound to travelling to our practice and preparing to pick up his cue again after only four treatment sessions — that’s certainly encouraging progress. 😎🙌👍
There is still work to do, and we’ll continue to support Ian carefully as he builds himself back towards full competitive fitness.
On a personal note, I’m really looking forward to seeing Ian back around the professional game and following his career. It’s a privilege to be able to play a small part in helping him get there.
Good luck, Ian — enjoy the holiday, take your time getting back on that practice table, and we’ll see you back on the professional circuit soon. 🎱🙌
