In response to the MOT campaign Shefford Osteopathic Clinic ran in the summer of 2013, Jan said:

The video made me think how we value the smooth running and reliability of our cars and yet we put our health problems to one side, hoping we’ll manage and limp along until we have a really bad episode.  Maintaining regular treatments can help avoid the worst of these problems.

I had become concerned about back pain, bad posture and what was happening to my spine. A session at the Clinic diagnosed the problems with my spine, explained clearly what could be done to help, more importantly what couldn’t and shouldn’t be done.

Photos showed the extent of the problem and a hands-on session improved my flexibility. Sensible advice on an exercise regime that would suit me and suggestion to continue on  a maintenance session rounded off a friendly and relaxed appointment. I think though that the most important aspect that I took away was peace of mind. You don’t know what’s going on with your body and to have someone listen and tell you what is happening and how they treat it is most reassuring.
