🥉 European Masters Athletics Championships — Toruń 2026
Andrew Brown. GB vest. Bronze medal. 1500m M45. Scottish record.
Six years ago, he nearly never ran again.
March 2020. First lockdown. Andrew came in with a hamstring/glute issue — referred by Dr Morag McCarthy, athlete and physician. Focused ESWT + EMTT. Pain resolved. Nerve symptoms settling.
Mid-session, casually: “While I’m here — can you just check my foot?”
I applied Storz Medical focused electromagnetic shockwave.
Immediate spike of pain. Sweating.
That response was the signal.
Rare stress fracture confirmed. Racing the next day could have displaced it. Career over. He didn’t race.
EMTT + Focused + Radial Shockwave continued throughout the pandemic.
2024 — Haglund’s deformity. Surgery recommended. Six sessions ESWT + EMTT + isometric loading.
No surgery. Again.
January 2026. Emirates Arena, Glasgow. 800m — 1:59. 1500m — 4:12.
This week. Toruń, Poland. European Masters bronze. Scottish record. Age 49.
A man who simply loves to run. And now he’s the fastest M45 1500m runner Scotland has ever recorded.
“Finally! Broke the Scottish record too in an incredibly competitive 1500 final. Couldn’t have done this without your help in the last six years. Forever grateful!”
Patient consent obtained. Full case publication 2026.
Thank you @Storz Medical 🙏
