Physio’s sharp mind
and skilled hands are behind the success of P.V. Sindhu
Sports Physios are playing important role in the success of
sportsman. Successes of PV Sindhu even the fracture in one of the lower limb before
the event. Skilled and sharp physio made a way to keep her practicing for this
mega event. PV Sindhu had just fractured a foot and it was in a plaster cast.
Anyone else would have taken a month or two off to recover before starting the
rigorous training that Olympic success demands nowadays. Not this young lady. Her
logic was simple.
Badminton requires the whole body to be fit. So two arms,
one leg and the upper body could start the training while the foot healed.
“It’s not like she was sitting at home for 2-3 weeks. Gopi
(Sindhu’s coach Pullela Gopichand) and me knew we didn’t want to waste time.
You see, the other leg was fine, so were the upper body and the abs. We simply
designed a way to improve her skills while one leg was still in a cast,” C.
Kiran, her physio and trainer later said.
For two and a half to three months, the rest of her body
kept getting trained, and when she returned, the foot healed – though it meant
starting from scratch on strength and endurance, Sindhu was never out of
training even for a moment.
“We removed the cast and we started off like nothing had
happened,” Kiran recalled.
Great sports physio!
