He explained that - “It worst pain I had ever felt. Every morning it hurt, it was the first thing on my mind, and it took me to low moments.I had spoken with my girlfriend and she said- This mindset is heavy on our relationship if it had carried on, I wouldn’t have known what to do!!I had to stab painkiller syringes in my back weekly and take tablets every day to try to ease the pain, it felt like I had a disability..”Toby took up Muay Thai classes and attended physiotherapy sessions during the 6 months after the injury.And just 3 weeks ago, he realized the pain had completely gone.How did this feel? - I asked.“Really really happy, I cannot compare it to anything else I had felt in my life, you forget how good life is being in a healthy body and you realize how sometimes we can take it for granted”He explained the hip rotation of the kicking movement had helped strengthen his back without causing him any pain.What would you say to people wanting to get into Muay Thai?“Let nothing keep you from doing Muay Thai, even I’ve had bad experiences in gyms when I was younger. But I learned to get back up, stepped over my shadow, stopped drinking and now I feel fitter than ever.You know like Nike - Just do it. Hahaha”Read the full post here.
