Jack V
Winger, Paisley RFC
🔹 Client Background
Jack V is a dedicated winger for Paisley RFC who lives for the game and the camaraderie with his teammates. Like many rugby players, his position demands explosive speed, agility, and resilience against high-impact tackles. Jack had a history of an MCL strain and was now struggling with ongoing neck, back, and shoulder tension, making it difficult to train at his full potential.
🔹 The Problem
Before coming to MD Therapy, Jack was experiencing:
- Persistent neck and shoulder tightness after games.
- Recurring back tension that limited his mobility.
- Concerns that his old MCL injury was affecting overall movement.
These issues were impacting both performance on the pitch and his enjoyment of the game. He wanted to ensure he could keep playing rugby every weekend without being held back by pain.
🔹 Our Approach
Marc and the MD Therapy team carried out a detailed injury assessment to identify the underlying imbalances contributing to Jack’s recurring issues. His treatment plan included:
- Osteopathic spinal manipulation care – to restore alignment, release pressure, and reduce pain in his back and shoulders.
- Sports taping – applied before matches to support mobility and prevent flare-ups.
- Injury rehabilitation exercises – designed to strengthen surrounding muscles, improve stability, and reduce the risk of further injury.
🔹 The Outcome
Thanks to his tailored treatment plan, Jack is now:
- Playing rugby every weekend pain-free.
- Experiencing improved mobility in his shoulders and back.
- Feeling stronger and more confident in his game.
Most importantly, he’s able to enjoy every moment on the pitch with his teammates.
“Marc helped me get back to a place where I can play rugby every week without worrying about my back or shoulders. The treatments and taping have made a huge difference.” – Jack V
