Baden. What began as an unexpected ache after an intense workout ended up marking a turning point in the life of personal trainer Jaime. In 2017, a sudden movement during his leg and back workout caused a lower back injury that left him immobilized for weeks.
“While playing with my newborn son, I found myself in an awkward position. I felt such severe pain that I couldn’t move. It was unbearable, a real nightmare,” she recalls. After two weeks of suffering, my family doctor recommended I see a physiotherapist. That’s how I met Patrick, a specialist at Baden Physio&Sport, located in the heart of the city, near the bus and train stations.
The result was immediate:
“Patrick left me feeling like new. Since then, I have understood the importance of physiotherapy and started recommending it to all my clients.”
A path of learning and prevention
Thanks to the therapies and recommendations I received, not only did I improve my posture and regain my mobility, but I also developed a deep interest in human anatomy. That was the impetus that led me to train for a diploma so that I could provide more comprehensive care to my clients as a personal trainer in Switzerland.
2025: a new recovery experience
Eight years later, a new challenge crossed my path: an injury to my left elbow, known as tennis elbow. Once again, I turned to Patrick.
He treated me during a chat with friends, using acupuncture and personalised therapy. After the third session, my arm was as good as new.
Beyond sport
In my role as a coach, I insist that physiotherapy is not just for athletes or people who train with weights. “Many office workers spend hours sitting in poor postures and end up with back pain. Anyone can benefit from a good physiotherapist. The most important thing is prevention and taking care of your health to live a long life.”
A trusted recommendation
Today, as a coach, he worked closely with Patrick and his team of collaborators, recommending them to both clients and friends. He also points out that in most cases, Swiss health insurance covers these therapies, and when it does not, there is always the option of paying for them independently.
This report is also a thank you for the professionalism you have shown me over the years. Patrick and his team not only gave me back my mobility, but also the peace of mind to live and train healthily.
