Where Manish started
Manish arrived with eleven years of intermittent low-back pain and a general instruction from somewhere to avoid heavy lifting. He could not sit through a full service without standing up.
What changed
A movement screen, six weeks of Foundation with an empty bar for the first fortnight, then a slow graded return under Rukmini. Nothing in the plan was novel; all of it was patient.
Everyone had told me what not to do. Rukmini was the first person who told me what to do instead.Manish Karki
I am fifty-two and I have carried a full keg up the stairs twice this week without thinking about it.Manish Karki
