Physiotherapy and MBST used to give relief from back pain

Dear Ann

I would just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you for the help you have given to me during my recent problems.

As you know, I have been a long time sufferer with back problems, extending back 30+ years.

In May 07 I had another bad back, but this time in turned in sciatica.

It was the most painful condition, and at times almost drove me to dispair.

You began treating me in June 07 and right fromthe outset, I felt that I was in the hands of an expert.

For the first time, I actually had my condition explained to me in terms that I could understand and relate to.

The treatment that I recieved was both physical and also mental, what I mean by that is that you were also educating me to understand my condition and that allowed me to continue treating myself at home between our scheduled sessions.This I was able to do by being more aware of my own body and making simple but effective lifestyle changes.

Simple things really like being aware of posture when sitting (either at home or at work).

Also simple stretching exercises that are useful after working in the garden or walking for a long time.

As you know my back had got to the point where it was starting to dominate my life.I always thought how every day activities would affect my back and if I was unsure I simply didnt do them.

This actually had a detrimental affect because the lack of activity made me less supple.

I now no longer feel like this and whilst always aware of my back, I now have much greater confidence in it and that has given me back some freedom to enjoy things that I thought like to do, like gardening, travelling and walking.

So once again Ann, thankyou very much for everything that you did for me.

Best Wishes

Mr Nightingale
