"With Naomi, I am the head of health and
performance," Zitzelsberger said. "I'm a strength and conditioning
coach, athletic coach, a physiotherapist and an osteopath. I analyze the
biomechanics and work to improve the tennis-specific biomechanics.
"From there, I
also cover nutrition, which is fundamental for building and maintaining a
strong, athletic body. And being an osteopath, I always try to balance out the
whole body and being through my treatments. When I'm treating as an osteopath,
I'm not treating myofascial muscles or joints. I'm one layer deeper. I'm
treating organs, nerves and arteries."
