When Mirabai Chanu was in the middle of opening an Indian medal account with silver in the Tokyo match on Saturday, Dr.
Aaron Horschig – the famous strength and conditioning coach who had worked with leading weight lifting champions to the game – was watching all the actions of his house on St.
Louis, United States.
“It was past midnight here but Mirabai was just fantastic.
It was very satisfying seeing it did what he did,” Aaron told Toi.
In November last year, Mirabai and his coach Vijay Sharma decided to visit Aaron when Manipur Lifter found it difficult to practice at home.
After being locked up in his room at Nis Patiala for almost two months during the Kuncian Covid-19 first, Mirabai found it difficult to continue the training regime.
He suffered back pain and also had tightness on his shoulders.
Travel to work with Aaron – a national level weightlifting physiotherapist – proved to be a Masterstroke for Mirabai.
Aaron has trained many players who are currently part of the American National Football League (NFL), main league baseball (MLB) among others.
Aaron doesn’t take long to know the pain points.
“The right shoulder was painful as long as the turnover phase seized.
After the examination I found the problem related to the problem in the shoulder blade position and failure to turn up optimally.
The shoulder blade cannot provide sufficient stability for the arm and which causes pain.
After handling the problem.
This, we can see major changes in pain-free capacity and stability under barbell, “Aaron value.
To the top, the lower back of Chanu was affected every time he squatted.
“With the right evaluation, we find that the source of pain is limiting hip mobility that inhibits optimal glute muscle activation.
This results in dependence on other networks in the hip and the development of pain,” said the 34-year-old player said.
With specific exercises adjusted to overcome this problem, Aaron helps Mirabai eliminate pain and do strong quality squat.
After the problem is sorted, Mirabai can appear on the best.
“There were times when he could not practice for sequential days.
When he went to Tokyo, we had several sessions every day,” said Aaron.
In front of his ridicule, Aaron came into contact with Mirabai and his team.
“The efforts made by his coach Vijay and other members of the team were commendable.
I have trained some previous athletes but Mirabai must be the most dedicated and disciplined.
The silver medal is the result of perseverance and attitudes that have never been said,” Aaron said.
