He Was Sceptical But Now 30 Years of Back Pain Has Gone!

​​

Here is a great story of how you don’t need to suffer needlessly. You can make changes to those niggles, aches and pains, no matter how long they’ve been there for.

“I’ve had many wonderful Christmas presents over the years, but last Christmas I had probably the best ever surprise in the morning on Christmas Eve.

When I got out of bed, MY BACK DIDN’T HURT AT ALL!!!

I know it sounds a bit odd, but when I realised, and it took a couple of minutes for it to register, it was the first time for probably more than thirty years that I’d not been plagued by lower back pain first thing in the morning! 

So, what caused the change in my lower back?

Since you’re reading this on the HealthHub website you’ve already got a pretty good idea, but if you’ve any doubts I’m ready to dispel them.

I started a course of treatment with the HealthHub in early November after I’d succumbed to my family’s pleading for me to make an appointment to see “someone” because my entire body was pretty well seizing up. And it was becoming more than uncomfortable.

My first Health Hub consultation involved a discussion with my Physio as well as an initial assessment, so no time was wasted. After having a couple of ultrasound scans (at the HealthHub premises within a couple of days) I went for my second appointment and the start of my “restoration”. 

As the weeks went by, I couldn’t believe just how much movement I’d regained. I find it particularly obvious when driving. I’m able now to spin round in the seat without worrying at road junctions where before it was almost impossible.

I’m now finding that my appointments are becoming less regular and further apart. I feel massively more flexible and I’m breathing better as well. These benefits alone have combined in me having a vastly more positive outlook on life. Oh, I even sleep better.

Not bad in just over eight weeks!

I wanted to say all this because I think the Health Hub’s approach to people in my position is not only positive and caring, but also practical and realistic. I’ve got a couple of inherent weaknesses and I know they can’t really be completely restored. But even with those issues, the team have managed to put me back on course for restarting some of the things I used to enjoy, but which up until late last year I thought I’d never do again. In fact, it’s fair to say I’ve regained a bit of my youth (I’m getting my motorbike out again soon) and that’s priceless!

So I’d say if you hurt and feel there’s nothing to be done, give them a try….. You never know!

To all at the Health Hub, please keep going, just as you are….. You’re brilliant!”
