Swim Injury Can't Stop This Star in Port St. Lucie FL

Sara is a superstar in so many ways and we are so happy to have played a small part in her success thus far. Swim Injuries can be tough because they are nearly always related to a bio-mechanical issue. But when Sara showed up at Vital Wellness Center with a nagging hamstring swim injury in Port St. Lucie FL, we knew she was serious about getting over it quickly. And, that's just what she did. Read her story here.

It takes the full package with great support to make it in competitive swimming and that's just what Sara has. Great coaching, family, drive, skill, and staying "tuned up" at Vital Wellness Center all came together for Sara! Congratulations Sara, we're so proud of you! Here's Sara:

"As a competitive swimmer of the past 12 years, I'm no stranger to aches and pains. They come with the territory of training year-round and competing regularly. I've learned that if I ignore a little ache, it can turn into a real big pain [swim injury]. The staff at Vital Wellness Center have kept me performing at my peak and helped me achieve many of my swimming goals."

Swim Injury gets real in Port St. Lucie FL

"I started coming to Vital Wellness after my first high school season. I had a nagging hamstring issue that became full-blown at my state meet. They took the time to thoroughly assess my problem, listen to my concerns, and come up with a comprehensive plan to heal and strengthen my leg, always sensitive to the fact that I needed to continue training.

Because I train all year, I regularly come in for evaluations, adjustments, and massages, to keep me in race-ready shape. The care and attention from Vital Wellness has always made me feel like we are all a team, together working toward making me a better athlete.

I am fortunate to have only suffered two serious injuries in my sport, and even more fortunate to have the Vital Wellness team to help see me through both of them. The diagnostic and physical tests, regular adjustments and massages, strengthening exercises, and training adjustments were all crucial to my healing and long-term success.

During the past four years, I have broken team records, consistently improved swim times in all strokes, increased my level of competition, and have become a stronger, healthier swimmer. This April, I signed my National Letter of Intent to swim for Towson University in Maryland, on a partial athletic scholarship."
