As an amateur diver, attracted by impressive heights, I was a spectator in the annual 2016 Marmeeting High Dive competition on the Amalfi Coast (Italy).
Thus was born my absolute passion for diving in natural contexts, where technical execution is secondary to the pleasure of adventure.
By keeping in touch with professional divers, who have since become friends, I follow as many competitions and diving events as possible: Polignano a mare (Italy), Mostar (Bosnia), MarMeeting (Italy), Ponte Brolla (Switzerland), HighJump (Czech Republic).
Having met the Infinite Drop team in 2017 allowed me to take part both as a diver and as a therapist to their competitions and events: Thun – Swiss Open Highdiving Championship, Ponte Brolla HighDiving Competition, Lugano HighDiving Show and HighJump in the Czech Republic.
I have thus had the opportunity to train and be in contact with top-level athletes, sharing osteopathic treatments and technical advice.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of participating as a spectator and as an athlete to multiple competitions that have enriched my technical, methodological and interpersonal knowledge.
I thank every athlete who believed in the project and welcomed me into their teams.
DIVING PROJECT, the More And Better staff and me will always be available to those who have participated in its development and spread in the diving world.
I had pleasure to work with Marco many times during my training camps and competitions around the world.
As a professional athlete you always have to go through recovery or sometimes even injuries, and Marco always knew how to fix my problems or give the right directions for a better recovery because he is also a diver and he understands the meaning of this sport in the medical terms.
During the competitios Marco helped me to solve my back pain problem. And it was well worthy. I made podium in Polignano a Mare 2019. I have full confidence in Marco not only for his quality as a skilled therapist, but also for his positive energy.
I have worked with Marco many times over the past few years. He has helped me make adjustment in my training to feel well prepared for competitions. I always feel more mobile and confident after treatment.
I have a lot of trust in Marco, because he is well educated and has his clients best interests in mind.
I was pleased to work with Marco on several occasions. Marmeeting 2017 was epic: whitout his help for my right knee, i wouldn’t have had a chance to compite. The exercises he recommended were so useful. Good friend, good therapist, good diver.
We are glad to have Marco in our team, both as a diver and a therapist, always ready if needed on the field. Many of our athletes have benefited from his treatment.
Looking ahead, we hope to count on him for his osteopathic advice and we hope to learn many other stretching and self-care exercises.
Marco showed me new exercises and stretching techniques to improve my body stability, which is really important in a spot like highdiving. I consider that is a luxory being able to work with someone who experiences in his own skin the needs of the athletes in this sport. After his treatment you really notice the difference in your body, which is relieved and ready for the impact.
Marco is amazing professional and therapist. With his exercises and treatments mean while my competiotions of highdiving i can feel the differences on my performances and how my body is more prepare and ready to do my sport.
……
On the first day at the Lugano Event 2019 I hurt my back entering the water due to the high impact. Marco helped me in a very calm and professional way and I was able to perform and to be part of the show throughout the whole weekend. His passion for high diving and the fact that he himself knows from experience how it feels to dive off lower and bigger heights is extremely helpful. His positive energy is an integral part in getting better: grazie, Marco!
I would like to thank Marco for his precious tips and tricks: now i can take care of my self thanks to some extra asset that i have implemented in my daily training.
Marco was so kind to help me with some useful treatments to keep my body healthy and ready to perform in spite of the many strains of my sporting activity
…
Marco’s knowledge of the human body, specifically the athlets needs is unprecedented. I use the techniques he taught me weekly to stay in peak condition. He is such a great osteopath.
…
Marco’s programme continues to help me everyday while performing in high diving shows.
Ensuring my body is loose and capable to keep up with high intensity of the shows.
I would like to say that Marco is an amazing person that can cure anything. Whit the good energy and the knowledge he has, already fix my knee and ankle. I’m so happy whit the results and i will recommend him 100 percent.
I have had the great opportunity to learn from Marco new and useful exercises to increase my flexibility, and my performance has improved. The exercises he recommended are real insider tips for keeping my body fit and boosting my training.
I was really impressed with Marco’s Osteopath knowledge and learned so much from him. Marco has such a great passion for improving one’s health and body awareness. I hope to work with him in the future and to continue to implement his techniques into my everyday diving career.
Marco is very knowledgeable about human body and loosening it up in unexpected ways. He might give you execises that initially seems to not relate to your problema t all, but trust him because it will really help your injury and/or mobility.
I strongly raccomend Marco Ghioni to any diving club and high diving club as a osteopath, physical preparation for athletes. He helped me to fix many problems with my back. He is also a fun and smart guy. I can’t wait to spend again time with Marco and take advantage from his knowledge.
I’m glad that I’ve meet Marco during my HighDiving journey. He helped me when I had back problems with some interesting and helpful breathing exercises.
Besides that, he showed me ways to increase my flexability that nobody else showed me before. He has an amazing knowledge about the human body, which helped me a lot to stay healthy and increase my diving skills. Also He is a super nice person and always there to help if you have any problem.
