Mirabai Chanu to work with expert physio in US
The HinduWeightlifter Mirabai Chanu, a medal hope in the Tokyo Olympics, will work with physical therapist Dr. Aaron Horschig in the USA to get rid of a recurring lower back issue, said national coach Vijay Sharma. Mirabai, a world champion in women’s 48kg in 2017 in Anaheim, USA, had to skip the 2018 Asian Games when she experienced pain in her lower back. The Indian took several months to overcome the pain before staging a comeback in the revamped 49kg weight class in an Olympic qualifying event in Thailand in February last year. According to his profile available on the Internet, Dr. Horschig – who was ‘involved in Olympic weightlifting as an athlete and coach for over the past decade’ – is a physical therapist, strength and conditioning coach who has treated professional footballers, baseball players, European professional hoopsters, Olympic weightlifters and other athletes.
