3x Olympic Medalist Swedish Swimmer, 25 World Championship Medals, and 43 European Championship Medals

I was recommended Hugh from a friend who describe treatments as somewhat magic but pointed out that he didn’t believe in magic or alternative treatments

My body, after 14 years of top level swimming, high volume training, and having then embarked on returning to elite swimming after giving birth and also facing being a lot older than most of my peers, needed a lot of help...

I had two slipped discs, mixed aches, and pains. When I first saw Hugh he saw the tension in my back and corrected the tension and increased flexibility in one session.

I was later fortunate to see him more frequently and also develop a movement scheme (exercises) that I could do everyday before training so my flexibility and movement patterns would be optimal.

I don’t know if or how I would have ended up without the help and expertise and “magic knowledge of movement of the body” that Hugh has, but I can tell you that everyday life, training and racing was made much more enjoyable thanks to it.

Racing in my 6th consecutive Olympic Games, I made semi finals.

Thank you for your knowledge and attention to detail Hugh!
