Michael’s Physio

Michael Swain sent us in a video of him making incredible progress, after his recent surgery. This is his second physio session following the operation. We’re all delighted to see the video!

Michael was wounded by an IED while on foot patrol in Sangin, Afghanistan. This happened in 2009 and Michael has since been undertaking a long process of rehabilitation. Meanwhile, in the fighting spirit that we have come to realise is so characteristic of the Rifles, Michael has founded and now runs a successful gym, where he passes on his experience as an army PTI (Physical Training Instructor).

And here is a Mirror article detailing Michael’s participation in a 500 mile charity bike ride.

Just Incredible.

Thanks for sending us in the video of your physio session, Michael and we look forward to hearing more news from you soon!
