Andy Thompson

'I first competed for Great Britain as a power lifter in 1998. I suffered a serious lower back problem that put a premature end to my international power lifting career. After being sidelined with injury for 2 years I knew it was time to do something about it, I was recommended by a friend to go to VitaPhysical. After a few sessions of Osteopathy and Massage I felt no pain in my back, I stopped the pain killers and had the confidence to start training again. Slowly and surely my strength improved and I remained pain free and more supple than ever. I was chosen to compete for the Great Britain power lifting team again in 2008, my first competition was the Western European cup in Denmark and I finished with a silver medal. I will definitely make sure to keep up my spinal maintenance treatments to help keep me competing at my best.’ Cheers ‘Big’ Andy
