Kayak Team Member Lucy needed help, her mum contacted Steve for his help to get Lucy back on form again , this was managed with the use of Neuromuscular Techniques and the aid of the Bioneuro.

When we  received  this email from Lucy’s mum, we had to help her.  

Dear Steve

My Daughter Lucy is an athlete, with the amount of training she has to do for her Kayaking I am always concerned ,that she might come home broken one day. This turned out to be the case when she came home from a Ski Training Camp this spring.

The trip was primarily cross -country skiing to help with aerobic fitness training for her Kayaking. On the last day Lucy went Snow Boarding and had a couple of very heavy falls.

Lucy is now back at training Pain free 

 

“Over the years I have been in this profession one goal has always remained the same . “That all my patients will be the best they can be to achieve their goals in life, injury and disability can affect anybody I always proud when they achieve their goal and so glad that I have been there to help them.”

I can now cough and sneeze without having to hold my side because of the pain, I can laugh and it doesn’t hurt.

I can laugh and it doesn’t hurt

“Sara came to us, initially as a mum with her son , having seen how we helped him, she asked if we could help her , the answer was “we will do our best”. And we did the results were great  as Sara explains below .”

Having had Steve work on my son Will’s knee after a rugby injury and fixing it so well that he did not need surgery,

I asked Steve if he could sort out my problems that I had suffered for over 14 years!

Having had Steve work on my son Will’s knee after a rugby injury and fixing it so well that he did not need surgery, I asked Steve if he could sort out my problems that I had suffered for over 14 years!

The main problem for Sara was deep rooted problems with her  Fascia, This is The band of connective tissue primarily made up of collagen that is  beneath the skin that attaches, stabilises, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs , but after injury it will tighten in Sara’s case causing constant pain in upper and lower back ,” when this is happens the fascia needs to be stretched it needs to be pliable again exercise will not achieve this, massage helps , but we have found that massage along with the Bioneuro has been of great beneficial help in a shorter length of time.

“I NEVER KNEW WHAT NORMAL WAS”

My first problem was with my lung, which gave me constant pain when I sneezed, coughed and even laughed! It had been left damaged from having pneumonia and Pleural empyema, I had had an operation that had left some nerve damage to my right arm, which meant lack of strength and pain and s I said my lung was damaged, the best description was it would feel like sandpaper rubbing against the skin. I presumed that nothing could be done for both these issues. Steve had other ideas.

Using the Bionuero Therapy System, Steve said that he would try to get things working again and he wasn’t wrongAfter just one session my pain had gone! I can now cough and sneeze without having to hold my side because of the pain, I can laugh and it doesn’t hurt.

To say I can now breathe may sound strange but for so long I had not been able to completely fill my lungs, I didn’t know what normal was;

I DO NOW. !!!! 4 weeks on and it is still the same, to think all I had to do was lay down get hooked up to the machine and have an hour or so of treatment. It wasn’t painful either, strange feelings of pressure on your body, or little kicks of electric shocks but never painful.

The following few sessions were a little bit more taxing. I had had lower back pain since I bore my first son which left me with damaged nerves and ligaments and a misaligned pelvis. Although this had gotten better after my second pregnancy I was left with a dull ache in my lower back and often tightness in my legs along with the annoying shooting pain in my left buttock and leg which would leave me unable to walk properly. Anyone who suffers this will know what I mean.

Just 4 sessions of the Bionuero system and I could not believe the results.

I could not do a simple leg raise without painan hour of this treatment and I could raise it with ease and with no pain.

I even loved the treatment, which I have to say I miss. 3 other sessions and all sorted.

It took a week I would say for it all to settle, I would still wake some mornings thinking uh oh pain is back but this slowly dissipated and for the past month I have had no pain at all. I have been able to have a whole day gardening and not feel stiff at all, even the next day. I can lift and carry things again without the pain. I can even sit or stand for long periods without feeling discomfort. No waking up in the morning and struggling to get out of bed!

I truly believe in this system, it is so simple yet so effective.

If you want to know what normal is, I highly recommend having this treatment, it is worth every penny.

Young Athlete’s Rugby Injury Healed With help from The BioNeuro and Getfitstayfit Norfolk.

Rugby Injury

Will an up and coming young athlete , aged 16 years, with an Injury problem to his knee after rugby incident.

Will was not in a good way when he first came to us , not only was he not able to take part in any sports due to his injury even walking was difficult , for a young man whose life revolved around his sport he was pretty down.

We got to work with The Bioneuro and Sports Massage and the results were very evident , read what his very happy  mum had to say.

Will had injured his knee 2 months previous after having it bent awkwardly in a rugby match. He had been told he had damaged his MCL and was waiting for an MRI scan. His knee however although he could walk on it, it was still very painful, he was unable to fully extend it and the pain from movement was waking him at night.

He started seeing Steve once a week, 4 weeks ago and the improvement has been brilliant. After assessing Will, Steve began treatment using the Bioneuro Therapy System. After will had endured  2 months of pain,  then with  just one session with Steve, Will said that “The pain had eased,” he could extend his knee slightly further and movement was easier.

Being an observer whilst Will was getting treatment everything was done professionally, caring and without any stress to the injury at all.

Seeing how relaxed Will was whilst the machine and Steve did the work, made it hard to believe anything was happening, but you could actually see the knee moving slightly and straightening out, it was amazing. Then to see Will stand up and walk around the room with hardly any limp after just 30 mins was fantastic.

Steve’s care has been second to none, making sure that Will gets the correct treatment, contacting Consultants and our own GP, also working on all Wills other ailments which, I know, will be fixed.

In Wills own words Steve has done more in these 4 visits than any Doctor has ever done over the years, Will has had to see them regarding injuries/medical problems.

 

Sara (Will’s Mum)

UPDATE

6 weeks on

Will has now come to the end of his treatment.

” Yes in just 10 weeks and his knee is fixed. Not just fixed okay to the point that he could cope, till he had to have surgery,  but he is  fixed  brilliantly and the best thing is he will No Longer Require Surgery.” A Major relief after, having seen a consultant and being told that Will’s meniscus was torn and an MRI scan was needed to confirm the severity.

Will continued to have the treatment with Steve on his knee along with having various other conditions sorted, as in tennis elbow, neck & shoulder issues.

On his last visit Steve had received the scans results back to be told that the tear had healed.

No surgery required! Fantastic news for Will!

This means he will not have to miss anymore of the sports he loves and he has already been back on the rugby field after 18 weeks out, immediately scoring 2 tries and setting up another!

Also means saving NHS money on theatre/operation costs .

We have no idea what would have happened if we had not have found Steve, his work and care has been fantastic and I cannot recommend him enough, in fact anyone says they have the merest of twinges I tell them to go see him !

The huge dark cloud of injury, that had threatened Lucy, of The GB Kayak Team, was swept away By Getfitstayfit Norfolk.

What is a Gold Medal Achievement

GB Kayak Team Member Lucy needed help Mum contacted Getfitstayfit Norfolk, we got Lucy back on form again and one happy mum sent us this email.

With the amount of training Lucy has to do for her kayaking I am always concerned that she might come home broken one day.

This turned out to be the case when she came home from a ski training camp this spring. The trip was primarily cross-country skiing to help with the aerobic fitness training for her kayaking. On the last day Lucy went snow boarding and had a couple of pretty heavy falls.

On arriving home she complained of a headache, so we all presumed she had concussion but during the week she did not improve and could not train at all or do any of her studies.

This Was Not good

On the last day Lucy went snow boarding and had a couple of pretty heavy falls. On arriving home she complained of a headache, so we all presumed she had concussion but during the week she did not improve and could not train at all or do any of her studies. This Was Not good.

After talking through her fall, I realised that she might actually be suffering more from a whiplash type injury, so I phoned Steve Kirby  who had recently been recommended to me by a friend who had suffered a serious fall from her horse.

She had said “Get Lucy to see Steve he’s a miracle worker!”  She was not wrong. After one session Lucy’s headaches were gone she could move freely, not even realising that she had in fact been quite stiff and restricted in her movement even prior to skiing.

It was like a huge dark cloud which had threatened to ruin her whole season and possibly career had been swept away.

After 2 days she was back in her boat and back to gentle training and then back to Nottingham, for full training within a week of her being home.

Result and huge relief all round. It’s was quite hard to keep Lucy Thinking positively before seeing Steve as she thought her season was ruined before it had begun.

All I can say is a huge thank you from me, for not only correcting physical issues, but this has a knock on effect on the mental attitude .

Great to see the young lady I have been helping ( a Member of GB u23 Kayak Sprint Team ) who travelled from Nottingham to Norwich for Sports Massage and Bioneuro treatment to ensure she is on good form for selection for the European Championships

“Now she has a belief that yes she can train hard again and achieve her goals. Some things are meant to be and without her fall we may never have met Steve who has sorted out a lot of longstanding issues which we would otherwise not have known about.”

Runners Preparation for Marathon 2017 2nd Session

Since Jacqui had damage to her knee and had to have a knee replacement, back in 2010, I have had a great deal of interest in knee pathologies and how to help with knee pain Then an opportunity to go to the University of Dundee at their Department of Anatomy to find out a whole lot more, on a Body Dissection Course, the main focus of the course being on being BioTensegrity, Genetics,Kinetics and Synergetics , with one of the best Human Anatomist, John Sharkey of the NTC in Dublin was to good an opportunity to miss.

Patient X attended my clinic for 2nd Session  “Preparation Marathon for 2017.”

It may be the Festive season, but when you are in training for a Marathon you still have to do that training , you have to keep on top of things that also means no overdoing the festive treats.

There are a lot of things to be considered when training in the winter time Warming up it is even more important in winter, Cold Muscles do not work well.

The Immune system needs a boost,  unfortunately  because when you are running you are pushing your body to do more than it wants ,  the body is working hard  having to repair itself more, you are using more of your vitamins and nutrients on that  repair work,  that it increases the chance of  you being more open to cold and flu infections.

You need to increase your Vitamin C, Zinc , Vitamin D3 and Calcium , as with the winter weather there is less chance to boost Vitamin D3 with sunlight, but we will talk more about that as we go through the next few weeks.

London Marathon 2012

Week 2

The second treatment session for Patient X took place on rest period day from training . Wanting to ensure good motor neuron function in the feet we concentrated the Bioneuro Sigma Q  treatment with Pads on the feet.

A very interesting observation on this mornings intervention was presented with a excessively hyper-tonic calf muscles/shin splints  on the left leg . Dorsi flexion and Plantar flexion actions appeared  slightly impaired .Following treatment we had total pain free movement and were able to continue with the days work.

Severe Pain Across Lower Back And Down Both Legs

Today we also proved that the “Deep Peroneal nerve  can be activated and movement improved  with   Bioneuro Sigma Q. 

This weeks running has been great.

2x 5mile pace runs.

1x 10 mile steady and

1x 5 mile easy.

Both the pace runs went well. Ran them at night.  Both finishing strong with fastest mile being the last one.  Second one was in new location which always helps as its always good to change the scenery.

My ten miler was in Xmas Eve. Decided to mix it up so I ran to my local Park Run (3.5 miles away) completed that before running home after. Obviously didn’t go flat out at PR due to the need to retain some energy for the – mainly uphill – return route.

Anyway my average time was nearly s minute per mile under my marathon target pace which is great. Again finishing with a good last mile.

Next run was an easy 5 mile, taking it steady and not pushing it.  Still kept under target pace though.

All in all 4 really good runs. On target with just over 100 days til race day.

My hope of getting under 4 hours is looking good – today at least.

My PB of 4:01 is there to be beat!

HNY Steve and thanks for looking after me.

After yesterday’s session I have no aches and pains. My shin splints which were very painful after the last run, seem to have calmed down since the Bioneuro treatment.

For Raven Giving up Kick Boxing Was not an Option

Kick Boxing

Raven attended Getfitstayfit Norfolk earlier this summer with server knee pain.

Steve ,carried out a full knee exam and found his knee to be very unstable, a few home truths had to be told to this young man as to what he may be facing.

A torn Meniscus and Posterior Cruciate Ligament damage were Steve’s findings, his knee was locking and giving way.

 

“I have been in the Sports Injury business for many years, but Ravens Injuries were some of the worst I had seen in a long time.”

This young man is a serious Martial Artist, Kick Boxer and Coach, a knee injury  was devastating news for him.

We started to be treat Raven on the BioNeuro MK2 Sigma Q, to help get some sort of function back  into the knee,

then on Raven next visit he informed us “That after the first treatment  session his knee did NOT lockup at all,” so  Steve knew he had something to work with .

Steve, explained to Raven how the nerve pathways  worked in the knee on the muscles and ligament’ s, setting up a treatment plan, knowing

Raven would have to be referred  to see a Orthopaedic  Surgeon in Norwich due to the Trauma in the area the surgery concerned and with conditions that would affect the Musculoskeletal system (the bones, joints, ligaments ,tendons, muscles and nerves)  it would be important for him to be in the best shape possible for this surgery.

The first appointment with the surgeon was arranged, an MRI scan was ordered, the result ,showed numerous problems this sort of injury affected so much and would need

. “A dogs dinner “ was the description the surgeon gave it . “I will try to do all I can to save the knee “. These were his closing words as procedures for surgery where started.

 “A dogs dinner “ was the description the surgeon gave it . “I will try to do all I can to save the knee “. These were his closing words as procedures for surgery  where started.

In the meantime while waiting for Surgery it was our job to keep Ravens Muscles supple and flexible in preparation for the operation, the aim being to make things easier for the surgeon to do his work.

Further weekly sessions of BioNeuroMK2, continued along with Neuromuscular Therapy and Massage, the need for No More Deterioration was important,  thankfully Raven being young and very physically fit, also understanding the importance of continued exercise was able to keep on top of things.

Raven, is deeply dedicated to his sport he was also in training for a title fight . “I was totally gob smacked ,people in the gym did not know I had a problem .” Said Raven, we were a bit concerned at this, but there was no longer any  locking or giving way ,no instability with this mans knee at all.

Then the day of the pre-operation  assessment came . Raven contacted us and said, “Steve I went, but I felt very guilty, every other patient there, was for surgery with a similar problems to mine, but they were in wheelchairs or on crutch’s, while I was walking normally” said Raven.

The operation took place at  Norfolk and Norwich under an incredible Orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Charles Mann MBBS, FRCS(Eng), FRCS(Ed), FRCS(Orth), whom we respect and admire greatly , along with his team, having completed the surgery,  he then gave Raven  a small gift,  part of the damaged cartilage that he had removed and told him

 

“Well ,we have saved your knee .”

Further Bioneuro treatment will now help in a rehabilitation program and restore full function quicker than orthodox physiotherapy.

One last word from Raven . ” Thank God for  Steve, The Bioneuro Treatment , and a great surgeon “

A fighter who we know has return, stronger and fitter to achieve his goals ! 

One last word from Raven . ” Thank God for Steve, The BioNeuro Treatment , and a great surgeon “. A fighter who we know will return,stronger and fitter to achieve his goals !

Here is some of Steve’s story . It is long , but it deserves to be read it will I hope touch your heart as it did mine  

So how to do this? “Simple – decide to run 100km non stop”

Did you know 17 babies are stillborn everyday in the UK.

Their beautiful little lives are ended before they have even begun.

17 families devastated every day

Before I go further just let that really sink in for a second…..

My name is Steve and back in 2009 my wife and I became one of those statistics.

What I am going to do is a personal milestone, to acknowledge that although I will never forget my first boy I feel I have come through the other side.

Today I have 3 beautiful healthy kids and an absolute inspiration of a wife and The time is right to “pay it back” to one of the supporting charities that helped my wife through her most darkest hours – SANDS 

I want to rewind back to 2009. It is very easy to do because even 6 years on the sequence of events and emotions are burnt on my mind.

I remember waking up in the morning and I could see on my wife’s face that something wasn’t right. She looked at me with a knowing look. She said she hadn’t felt the baby move for sometime. My first reaction was “don’t worry its probably asleep”.

“It” because we didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl

So we contacted the maternity ward and they said to come straight in. That 30 minute drive felt like 3 hours. Eventually we reached the maternity ward and I will always remember the room we went into it was Bay B. Ironic I thought.

The midwife hooked us up to the machine that checks for the baby sounds. My feelings were, just wait for it, and the heartbeat will be there any second like some train or horse. However the midwife was rooting around over and over and over again.

She then said I’m just going to call the doctor ! I can not describe the wave of panic that comes over you at that point and my wife looked at me for comfort.

My heart was coming out of my chest I had no words or comfort. I just held her hand and started to pray for a good outcome. I’m not religious but it’s funny how you look for higher assistance when you are subjected to such desperate situations.

Just then a very smartly dressed consultant came in wearing a dickie bow of all things. It’s funny the things you remember that aren’t important to the situation.

He then took hold of the machine and moved the pads around. This was for at least a minute and then all of a sudden like the cold light of day calmly said to us I am very sorry but there is no pulse

BANG !! – There it was Probably the single most worst thing you will ever hear in your life.

Your child, the one your beautiful wife has carried, suffered for and loved for 9 months was dead. My wife was in her 39th week!

I can not describe what that change of emotion from one day elation to the next of devastation does to you.

Your body goes into self protection mode. You go numb, you feel your not in your own body, you are in denial but yet when you tell family and friends you become surprisingly calm as their emotions start to outpour.

the next day or so is a blur of bad news rippling across your family and friends and receiving massage after message of sympathy which at the time you just fob off.

And the real kicker, we are put into a room next to the delivery suite where you guessed it, we are hearing healthy babies born. Of course we don’t begrudge these people but you do ask the question why us ?

You can’t mull over it, you won’t be getting an answer on that !

So the next huge challenge if we hadn’t already had enough. My wife has to deliver our stillbirth son. Now I have always had respect for my wife, but I cannot describe how this increased in that delivery room that day.

I have no words for what emotions she must have felt along with the pains of labor. Only she knows.

What I do know is that day cemented my love and respect for her. After a good few hours my wife finally gave birth to our son. The emotion – elation !!

How can this be you could ask? Again I have no answer. He looked perfect only the mere fact he wasn’t Alive. That is very hard to take when you physically have him in your arms.

We were very grateful for the short time we had before we had to hand him over to the hospital for funeral arrangements.

That’s right funeral arrangements for your newly born child. Doesn’t compute does it !

However I have never taken a step back to appreciate where I really am in this recovery 2016 is a year of reflection and positive action On New Year’s Eve I made a promise myself to start such action. The first port of call was to raise money for the charity that supported my wife through her darkest hours. This charity is SANDS (Stillbirth & Neo natal Death)

The midwives were absolutely brilliant and they took hand prints and footprints. I thought it was a little strange but I am thankful for that as today we have these safely stored away in his memory box. We also took countless photos as well.

When we arrived home we were greeted with all the little clothes we had brought in preparation and of course the empty nursery.

My wife could give a better account of how empty we felt. For me it was a day for the wife 9 months of anticipation.

Over the coming days we sat down and organised the funeral. The hospital were great in arranging the funeral which was held on site and I managed to summon up enough strength to say a few words. I needed to do that.

We chose a few songs that we thought appropriate and to this day if I hear them on the radio I have to turn it off. It takes me right back to the little coffin sat in front of us.

At this point I would like to recognize and thank various people. Our families, Our friends.The consultant.The mid wives,The vicar,The crematorium

Our boy was scattered on a beautiful garden area specific to children. With a wooden and brass star surrounded by flowers and heather. It’s such a peaceful place and we visit on regular occasions to swap over toys.

This put a line under the first chapter but the following months became a challenge.  As we started to grieve In isolation my wife craved support and I craved a bloody great hole which I could hide in.

I felt bad that I couldn’t support my wife In the manner she desired so much but this led her to a new network of support and although I don’t know these people personally they played the biggest part in this recovery. This was simply a group of extraordinary women that had been through the same thing and had set up a social network support group.

My wife spent countless hours speaking to them and this certainly helped where she was at, along with the counselling and the support of count the kicks & SANDS, I could see my wife turning a small corner.

I chucked myself into work and sport.

For a period of time I could sense the only option was to go our own way and separate as we were kind of dragging each other down and slowing the recovery.

However I had a moment of genius and my wife reluctantly agreed – we got a dog. It was a border collie pup and my God did we bite of more than we could chew. He was a terror, but at the same time he was brilliant – he certainly took our mind’s of day to day mundane emotions.

Guess what a few months later my wife was pregnant – this was 2011 by now.

The dog got shipped to the folks who still have him today and he’s a little more calmer than when we had him.

The next 9 months were a paranoid one as you can imagine, however, thankfully under some great consultant led care my wife gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy.

As the months went by and we got acclimatised to being parents, I couldn’t help but think about what if our stillborn boy and our new son were together, but this wouldn’t be the case as we wouldn’t have had them together like that and you think that your new son wouldn’t then be here.

It’s a weird thought process but I can imagine parents that have had rainbow babies would understand.

A rainbow baby is one that is born after a stillbirth if you were wondering.

So fast forward to 2016. Add two further beautiful children, add two parents that have learnt a lot of empathy towards parent hood, add two very loving and respecting parents and you have the foundation of a happy future.

Of course you will have ups and downs but having gone through what is the worst scenario a parent could we are well prepared to hit any challenge head on as a family unit.My Beautiful, Strong & Living Wife – Lucy,My First Boy who I will never forget – Roan, My Kids, my legacy  – Evan, Noah & Maggie,

7 years on from losing our son there has been a number of life events that have, shall we say taken priority of the rawness of loss.

Our beautiful kids, work, personal activities etc….

However I have never taken a step back to appreciate where I really am in this recovery 2016 is a year of reflection and positive action

On New Year’s Eve I made a promise myself to start such action.

The first port of call was to raise money for the charity that supported my wife through her darkest hours.

This charity is SANDS (Stillbirth & Neo natal Death)

So how to do this?  “Simple – decide to run 100km non stop”

Winifred Thought That She “Would Never Be Able To Walk Again Without The Use Of A Stick”.

Be Able To Walk Again

What a lovely lady I have been treating in Winifred,  I have  not had to treat this lady for very long .

One thing is for sure she is a fighter , I have treated a few Ladies recently all with one very positive thing about them .

They have all been fighters wanting to get on with life and make the most of it .

Yes they have been in pain , but they should not be written off and they certainly would be the first to tell you they still have a lot of living to do and they intend to get on with it.

I love them for their positive attitude and it has been a pleasure and a joy to be able to help as Jacqui calls them “My Ladies”

Winifred had problems with her knee and her back , she came to me after she found it difficult to carry on with her gardening and her daily exercise  routine.

Using Neuromuscular techniques , massage on the Hydrotherm System and using the Bioneuro, we were soon able to get into to the cause of Winifred’s Pain ad deal with it , rather than it being a long drawn out process and without the need for her to continue using the painkilling medication that Winifred did not want to take .

Winifred word’s “I did not think I would be able to walk again with out the use of a stick ”

That proved to be wrong as Winifred is now doing her daily walks without a stick in Acle.

Edith from Upton, had resigned herself to a life filled with pain until she met Steve Kirby of Getfitstayfit Norfolk

life filled with pain

Following a fall,  Edith sought help and advice from Steve Kirby , with help from her daughter Lee. Edith had already been attended to by paramedics at the scene of her accident and medical staff in

Accident & Emergency at the hospital who were pleased to report she had not suffered a fracture, she was allowed home with painkillers but unfortunately Edith didn’t feel they were aiding her recovery.

Lee began looking for alternative help and found Get Fit Stay Fit Norfolk in” The Village Book.

The two ladies expected to be given rehabilitative exercises for Edith to perform and were surprised and overjoyed when the treatment prescribed was a Hydrotherm Massage.

This was Edith’s first massaged in her 97 years and she enjoyed the sensation of laying on a bed of hot water whilst being massaged.

It brought relief from her pain and a feel good factor too, allowing her to relax and enjoy the treatment.

We believe  ‘Quality of life is the major factor and being able to accelerate regeneration of chronically damaged skeletal muscles at whatever age is very important. “

Before her accident Edith had uncomfortable back pain, so Steve also administered treatment with the Bioneuro System which works deeply into muscles which cannot be reached by other therapeutic devices.

” Mum is on the up and the two treatments have been miraculous and amazing, this  has already enhanced mum’s health in general,’ said Lee. ‘Mum has been able to half the painkillers that she was told were her future.’

Edith has had a few more treatment sessions with us , she is now feeling  so much better , she is back to her Knit  & Natter days and is a lot more mobile.

“As for the painkillers she only had to take one last week.”

Leaving the last word to Edith,

“Wonderful, I have a new lease of life and a turn for the better. If you have an injury causing you pain and discomfort, whatever your age, please give Steve a call at Get Fit Stay Fit Norfolk”

Take these tablets, they said

Take these tablets

I had been doing some heavy lifting and thought nothing of it ,lifting fish tanks into awkward positions . Thinking nothing of it ,but my back did !.

Being normally very active and very  physically able  living with one or two aches did not worry me . Waking up ,that morning I found myself in excessive ,depilating pain .Looked at my self in the mirror and I was standing at 75degrees !. Certainly not normal.

Struggled to see the GP who said “Take these tablets ,five boxes in all . Diazepam, naproxn and other stuff . The GP ,then went on to say . “If things are not right in four or so days come back and then it will take a few weeks and we will do some investigation to see if we can help you further “

Taking the tablets ,they made me sleep feel very  depressed . I needed help !. I found Steve’s details called him 

Recovery & Rehabilitation or Over Medication

Got to Steve’s . He fully assessed me  injury wise and started to work . This was  on a Sunday ,I was so thankful.  Then ,put me on a machine called “Bioneuro” explaining I had damaged very deep muscles which would be very difficult to massage

Back Pain Relief

Well, almost instant relief ,freedom to move .NO PAIN !. Warmth .That’s what Bioneuro has done for me . Five box’s of tablet’s did not do that !.

Followed by Neuromuscular injury manipulations ,this was a touch of heaven on earth. Steve ,worked on my leg, it has been damaged for a few years.

The combination of the Bioneuro ,Clinical Neuromuscular  Injury Therapy techniques has restored me.

Delivery Driver Ray needed Getfitstayfit Norfolk, For Back Problem

Back Problem

It is that time of year when a certain person will don the red suit and get ready for his annual deliveries he will be very busy for one night to get all those special items to folks , then he will have a whole year to rest .relax and recuperate, maybe have a massage or two.

He will not be the only one dealing with delivery of the gifts, parcels for Christmas or the extra deliveries created by Black Friday, he may get the rest of the year off, but the rest of the Delivery Drivers will not .

He will not be the only one dealing with delivery of the gifts, parcels for Christmas or the extra deliveries created by Black Friday, he may get the rest of the year off, but the rest of the Delivery Drivers will not .

For them although the extra work is good it also means extra hours longer time spent in the driving seat, lots more multi drops, so more getting in and out of the van’s .

Ray of is one of those delivery drivers he owns HARK Solutions a company we have used and trusted with some special equipment , his company has high standards getting special items to customers when they need them on a Direct Delivery system (Not going into a HUB) so Ray always has to be on top form.

Having Back Pain was not an option for Ray he had some very important deliveries and could not afford to take the time off, as he was going to be driving he also could not take a number of Painkillers , he felt his best decision would be to see Steve of Getfitstayfit Norfolk and get the injury dealt with as soon as possible ,

Have a look at his testimony.
