Lower Back Pain for Hannah Due to PSD Came to Getfitstayfit Norfolk For Treatment.

I thought labour had been painful, but the pain I was experiencing with my back was on a par!

“I thought labour had been painful, but the pain I was experiencing with my back was on a par!”

When you work with people that have suffered an injury and are in pain, you have to treat the whole person and you build up a relationship  with them, we hate to see our clients in pain and the sooner we can get them out of pain the better,

One of the best things about this job is seeing a client recover and be pain free.

“After having four children quite close together, the pressure of pregnancy and birth had weakened my lower back and unfortunately led to a severe prolapsed disc.”

Hannah is a lovely lady, but my first meeting with her was quite upsetting, she could not stand  or walk with out aid she was in so much pain, her husband was doing his best for her, but with four children they needed help, I was so glad I was able to be the person to help them. She had suffered with PSD during and after her pregnancies, that had left her with Pelvic and Back Issues.

Here is her Story.

After having four children quite close together, the pressure of pregnancy and birth had weakened my lower back and unfortunately led to a severe prolapsed disc. I thought labour had been painful, but the pain I was experiencing with my back was on a par!

A friend had recommended Steve to me and as I could barely walk, and only then with assistance, Steve very kindly came out to my home. I had several treatments with Steve and each time I made noticeable improvement, both in pain relief and mobility.

It was only after a few treatments with Steve that I had my MRI which confirmed a L4-L5 prolapsed disc. I was told in my orthopaedic assessment that it was severe enough to warrant surgery as I was suffering with sciatica and trouble with my waterworks as a result. However, by the time I met with the surgeon to discuss the operation I was told the operation was no longer necessary due to my massive improvement, I no longer had sciatica and my mobility and pain had reduced significantly.

The surgeon asked what treatment I had been undergoing and I told him about Steve and  The Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®). He had never heard of it, but said to keep at it because it was obviously working!

“I can’t thank Steve and Jacqui enough, they were an answer to prayer. I was in so much pain and the relief their Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®) treatment they gave me was remarkable. They were both so kind and encouraging along the way, I didn’t just feel like I was a patient, but a friend. Thank you!”

Suffering With Chronic Back Pain Till Treated By Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Suffering With Chronic Back Pain

Sat on the floor unable to get up because of the intense pain , wondering if this was how her life was going to be.

Sara a keen Harpist  came to Getfitstayfit Norfolk, after her husband had come home to find her, Sat on the floor in the kitchen unable to get up and in intense pain, she had been through so much and was and her wits end. He told me, Sara had had a couple of rather bad accidents, causing trauma related injuries and nothing was working to get this, use to be very active lady back to how she was.

For him seeing his wife in constant pain and unable to help her himself, his question to me was “Do you think you can help”.

Well that was back in April so it has been a while, a lot of work and determination from both Sara and myself, but folks we have got there this week, we have finished treatment, I will see Sara for the occasional maintenance massage, but this lady has now got her life back and I am so proud, her spirits are soaring and soon so will the Kite.

Here is her testimonial.

 

Steve, I hardly know how to thank you for literally giving me back my life.

I am 74yrs old (young now!) and for the last fifteen years or so have suffered from increasing pain, stiffness and weakness in my hips, knees, legs and feet.  MRI and X-rays showed nothing other than  some ‘age-related degeneration’!   Appointments with the Rheumatologist (3) and Neurologist resulted in drugs and painkillers.  Diagnosis…possibly fibromyalgia (fibrositis) and when the inflammation got worse, polymyalgia, for which I had 18 months of steroids.  Over the years I have had three episodes of plantar fasciitis and several Achilles tendon flare-ups.  Each time the problems were treated with cortisone injections….very painful, with relief… until the next time!

Over the years I have tried variously, Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Bowen Therapy, Acupuncture, Physiotherapy  (at least three different sessions of 6 treatments), therapeutic and sports massage, orthotic shoe inserts herbal treatment, vitamins, more exercise/less exercise, antidepressants, prayer and healing.

With the pain and stiffness, I was becoming increasingly ‘disabled’, unable to walk far, get up after sitting, or in the morning, without my crutches.  Car journeys, even short ones, were a nightmare (I’ve stood by the car, shaking because of the pain)  Literally , with so much weakness and burning pain in my legs and feet, I was unable to get up off the floor unaided, as my arms were becoming more painful and weaker.

Exercise and hobbies, mine are flying dual string Peter Powell kites and Playing the Harp)both became impossible.  I felt very low.

Then I met you, Steve.   Immediately, you understood how much tension and inflammation there was in my muscles. Your considerable skill and insight, coupled with the use of The Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q(ΣQ®) and massage on the Hydrotherm Massage system, we began slowly to produce results.  My mood lifted and I began really to believe that I would get better.  Your ability to think laterally, meant that we had got to ‘Plan C’ when the breakthrough occurred. Powerful ultrasound via the Bioneuro helped to loosen up the muscle tissues and  my system to restore circulation and blocked neural pathways.  Muscles began to ‘fire’ again.

I tell all my friends and they can see the difference, so you should be inundated with requests for help! 

Now that I have been signed off and passed as fully fit, may I tell you what an enormous debt of gratitude I owe you?  I can now look forward to my remaining years with joy and enthusiasm.

Bless you

Sara

Recovery & Rehabilitation or the Limbo Room

You have had an injury, be it shoulder , back , hip ,or knee, it is your injury.Back Pain In Human Body You did not want it,no one wants’ it to happen, you did not expect it, so the question is. What are you going to do now ?

You have had an injury, be it shoulder , back , hip ,or knee, it is your injury.

You did not want it,no one wants’ it to happen, you did not expect it, so the question is. What are you going to do now ?

You can.

Take painkillers to mask it and stay in the Limbo room to wait for it to heal on it’s own maybe.

 

 

Recovery & Rehabilitation or Over Medication

Or you can.

Move forward to the Rehabilitation and Recovery room , make progress, towards getting your life back on track again.

 

We know Massage releases the “feel good factor” and there is a reason for that it is not all about just relaxing, massage helps release Endorphins and Dopamine, it is the physical input that the therapist applies to the patient and how it is applied that makes the difference.

 Which is it going to be ?

These are the decisions only you can make for yourself, but you do have options, besides waiting in the Limbo room and taking painkillers.

Fact’s

The sooner an injury is treated the easier it is to treat, the sooner it will heal, early intervention always helps.  Keeping Muscles Supple is a must. as muscle tightness (Hypertonicity)  in the injured and surrounding area of the injury, can cause you real pain to the point that it could prevent you from getting the exercise you need, to help you progress to getting you back to fitness.

Muscle Activation Techniques  need to be applied and  the sooner the better, to aid in the  progression to the recovery and rehabilitation stage after an injury, unused muscles don’t help you in any way.

We have  an in-depth understanding of the mechanical principles of the Musculoskeletal body, we are able to address and intervene in aiding these  Musculoskeletal  imbalances that occur due to injury, quicker than conventional methods.

By using the tools such as The Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®) this is a tool used, to aid in rehabilitation of some of our Elite sportsmen and women and can get to the deep muscle issues, that unfortunately can’t be reached with normal muscular release techniques, due to the fact, that  in the early stages or a muscular injury, the pain factor felt  by the injured person, can be so overwhelming for them.

Using the Hydrotherm Massage Therapy System, this is a system that is used in spinal injury treatment  to alleviate pressure on the injured area as it allows for  better accessibility. It gives us the advantage of being able to treat the area without adding further discomfort for the injured person.

If an injury is  left,  It will be  these muscular Skeletal  imbalances that  may lead  to chronic and repetitive stress injuries. In later life. as  once something is damaged it will never be the same it becomes week and prone to injury.

This need not be the case if Early intervention and the correct treatment is applied.

Muscle Tightness happens to us all at some point, but do you know why and what can you do to help prevent it ,  first of all you need to remember that all Muscles Pull and to pull it is only one way Up, we all know we have muscle groups, but what happens when one member of the group does not want to work?

It does not stop the rest, in fact they take on the extra work they become Martyrs to the muscle that is not doing it’s share, they are protecting your body and being overworked.

What we have to do is find  the culprit, that is not doing it’s job, by doing certain tests.

As  a muscle’s job is to produce motion, control and stabilize joints  Then you will find that If, one or more muscles are tight, depending on the stress exists, it will  follow logically that certain ranges of motion from one side of the body to the other will not be symmetrical when tested.

Recruitment of muscles will be off balance , it will show to  the trained eye and hands what is going wrong.

Then we move onto Rehabilitation, do you know we have, Muscle memory we do and it has been used synonymously with motor learning, which is a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition. When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort. This process decreases the need for attention and creates maximum efficiency within the motor and memory systems, this can be a great thing if you are fit and well as your muscles will work in a fluid motion within your body, but when you are injured, your muscles react differently, they want to tighten up to protect themselves so that they won’t get injured again, some muscles have to take over other muscles work , as the injured muscle wont stretch out , it becomes a habit and a default position.

So next time you have

Shoulder, back, hip, neck, leg, or even foot tightness, etc. from your Sports  workouts or your  day-to-day occupational  responsibilities, consider it as an important warning don’t just ignore it,  start finding out where the cause of the problem exists. The symptom of pain and tightness are a sign and often exists simply because some muscles have and not  done their job, get it checked keep on top of it.

Because if we only look at the symptoms when an injury occurs and  not  the root cause,

we will not be in a position to prevent chronic problems, becoming exacerbated in later life.

Our Treatment today will be a good investment

for your physical abilities tomorrow.

Neuromuscular Injury Therapy and Massage Can Benefit You In The Summer.

It looks like the Summer is finally here and boy has it taken it’s time to arrive, two years with not very good weather , so now is the time to get out there and enjoy it.I went to see Steve after reading about him in the EDP Norfolk magazine. I have had four visits to date, two of which involved the use of the Bioneuro Dry Therapy System Sigma Q(∑Q)® The difference this has made has been amazing. I feel pain free, more agile and have a more positive outlook. I can enjoy playing golf and gardening without suffering afterwards Equally important as the season change you must maintain adequate hydration. If you’re a Runner, Rider , Gardener or just wanting to take some exercise outdoors, you may be using muscles that you have not used for a while or you may need to make sure your muscles are in peak condition. Muscles and tissues require lots of fluids, as well as good nutrition to enable them to function properly, to avoid spasms and sprains. whatever your reasons Massage can help.

It looks like the  Summer is finally here and boy has it taken it’s time to arrive, two years with not very good  weather , so now is the time to get out there and enjoy it.

Equally like plants and all living things, it is important as the season change you must  maintain adequate hydration.

If you’re a Runner, Rider , Gardener or just wanting to take some exercise outdoors, you may be using muscles that you have not used for a while or you may need to make sure your muscles are in peak condition.

Muscles and tissues require lots of fluids, as well as good nutrition to enable them to function properly, to avoid spasms and sprains. whatever your  reasons Massage can help.

A lot of you will know or felt the consequences of The build up lactic acid

For those that don’t, this is when we work or exercise hard, our muscles build up lactic acid, this is normal, but often it  can become lodged within the muscles fibres tissues, causing spasms or strains to occur, it can shorten  our  range of motion as well as creating what people call  “Knots” in the muscle these “Knots are in fact Trigger points where a Nodule has formed on the muscle fibres and is constricting, it can be a very painful experience.”

Working with quite a few Runners and cyclist over the years, knowing you guys, want to push yourselves to achieve  to your Personal Best, that is a great thing and some of our clients have achieved things they should truly be proud of. 

In this weather though could You be the ones holding yourselves back ?

What do you think a professional Neuromuscular Therapy and Sports Massage could do for you ?

Exercise is good but the right type , you need to look at the cardiovascular, start easy go swimming, walking you need to get the muscles relaxed not tighten them up , there are reasons for this.

Here are some clues !!

A Neuromuscular Therapy Session with a professional therapist, they will apply the right kinds of techniques to muscles and joints to release tightness, cramping, spasms, and constricted Fibre Nodules . This is important to do because these pockets of lactic acid  If not dealt with, can become more toxic to the body.  This causes an inflammatory response by the immune system causing  the pain cycle to  advance. By applying Trigger Point therapy to the area they will be able  help with the removal of  metabolic waste therefore strengthening immune function.  By doing so this will return muscles to their optimal functioning ability. Improving range of motion increasing flexibility and muscle tone, 

Another thing about your immune system that massage aids is that it helps to support White blood cell proliferation, this is quite complex, but if you would like to know more about this in particular follow this link to find out more.

Neuromuscular Therapy can also help with relieving  Stress and in hot weather people do get stressed, then comes the  tension headaches, it will help to relieve them, it will then aid your sleep pattern also improve your alertness by reducing fatigue. therefore helping to clear your thinking and concentration.

Neuromuscular Therapy also releases Endorphins and Dopamine, your bodies natural feel good factors, it will help you to have a better sense of well being, and for some people this can be essential, especially if you suffer from Depression or some of the other effect’s of over or under release of two very powerful natural chemicals in your body,  as it helps control your bodies natural release of your Endorphins and  Dopamine levels.

This lead’s me to one of the other benefits of Neuromuscular Therapy 

It can help you to feel great, in hot weather we feel sluggish, and although you ladies notice it more, guys also suffer from it, The Swelling in the legs,(Lymphedema) the heat affects our lymphatic system and as it has not got its own pump, legs do swell, massage can help reduce this swelling and help us feel less sluggish, and while we are on the subject of what you ladies and guys notice,

Give your Achilles Tendon a Bit of a Lift? Part 1

Achilles Tendon

He may have died in the Greek Trojan wars, this tendon is named after him, it is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body, but  to  to many a Runner it is synonymous to injury and be the cause of pain, most  know it as The Achilles Tendon. or the Calcaneal Tendon or the Tendo Calcaneus.

Over the years I have found myself treating many, Achilles Tendon Injures some, after surgery, but I am happy to see more people, getting treatment before the situation has deteriorated to the point that only option is that of surgery, I hope this information may help some of the runners to avoid.

Problems that Occur with the Achilles Tendon.

The Achilles is the tendinous extension of 2 muscles in the lower leg: gastrocnemius and soleus. It also serves to attach the plantaris, gastrocnemius (calf) and soleus muscles to the calcaneus (heel) bone, In humans, the tendon passes the  posterior of the leg to the ankle It is about 15 centimetres (6 in) long, and begins near the middle of the calf.

 The Achilles’ muscle reflex tests the integrity of the spinal root.  The tendon can receive a load stress 3.9 times body weight during walking and 7.7 times body weight when running. (Think about  that on your next run)  Achilles tendon ruptures are most likely to occur in sports requiring, sudden eccentric stretching, such as sprinting, also long runs pounding the pavement will do the job just as well.

Some of the Problems/ Injuries that occur Insertion Tendonitis This is an inflammation at the point where the Achilles tendon inserts into the heel bone. When you have this problem you will have tenderness directly over the insertion of the Achilles tendon, which is commonly associated with calcium formation, or a bone spur forming just above the insertion point. You may also suffer a Retrocalcaneal bursitis; this is caused by movement-related irritation of the Retrocalcaneal bursa, the fluid-filled cushioning sac between the heel bone and the Achilles tendon. The bursa can become inflamed or thickened and stick to the tendon, because of overuse or repetitive loading. You will feel pain when squeezing the tendon itself or the space just in front of the tendon.

You will feel pain when squeezing the tendon itself or the space just in front of the tendon.

I know that retrocalcaneal bursitis are  associated with Rheumatoid arthritis ,but in most occurrences in athletes, only  one side is involved so may  not be associated with a “Systemic disease ” Please get this checked by your GP if you have any doubts”.

Tendonitis also involves pain in front of the Achilles tendon and a bony enlargement of the heel bone, known as Haglund’s deformity, which is referred to as a ‘pump bump.’ “Most cases of Haglund’s deformity will occur in ladies who wear high-heeled shoes, but runners are also prone to this sort of injury.

Painful shoulder injury then he came to Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Don’t take it from us have a look at His Testimonial, how we helped him to get back to fitness, how he can turn his head again and how he now gets a good nights sleep something he had not had since the accident.

Cold Air and how it the affects our Muscles & Joints

Cold Air and how it the affects our Muscles & Joints

Did you know that you muscles react to cold air similar to a barometer

In the cold months that are now upon us, unlike the weather we have had this last couple of weeks, cold air brings with it lower barometric air pressure.  This means gas expands when heated and contracts when cooled so the lower air temperature it will causes the air to constrict the result is lower pressure. Well this is the same affect on your muscles they constrict and tighten . This lower air pressure, causes the soft tissue around your joints to expand in response, and it infringes on the joints, which can cause pain that radiates into the muscles making them more prone to cramps and spasms and generate more pain.

Are You Prepared ?

 

This is why you must warm up and stretch, it is so important when training in lower temperatures, apart from anything else you need to do this for you cardiovascular system.

Even if you are going into a warm gym to do your training, remember your muscles would have got cold prior to getting in there. be kind to them they have a lot of work to do.

We have been writing about getting your body ready for Spring When we have all been use to Winter for so long. Our muscles are Tight and Contracted, no one wants constricted muscles it is not good for you, its like being in a Straight Jacket, struggling to get out.

Cold Air will also affect any Pre-existing Conditions people have

If you sufferer from Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, or have any joint injury you are going to feel it in the cold weather more, because of the nature or these problems they are more  susceptible to cold weather  and how it effects your joints and muscles you are already experiencing pain, so when the winter months come  the changes in temperature and weather will exacerbate your condition, it  brings with it more problems than you  already have. We all know that  Arthritis causes swollen joints, so  when the soft tissue expands around the joints, it causes more pressure and pain.

Regular Maintenance in the form of Neuromuscular Therapy along with Sports Massage can help immensely in the winter months for anyone with Joint pain, and this is a time of year when you need to keep more active, to keep warm, so Therapy massage will enable you to do this.

Along with the Bioneuro, that will aid circulation that in turn will help towards the reduction of pain especially in people with Arthritis 

it works in a way that it can get into the joints that normal massage may not be able too.

With  Neuromuscular Techniques, remedial massage, we can deal with a lot of the Muscular Skeletal problems that can be caused by the cold weather.

We want you to enjoy the cold months keep exercising, enjoy time with your family outdoors, Winter need not be all doom and gloom.

Severe Pain Across Lower Back And Down Both Legs

Severe Pain Across Lower Back And Down Both Legs

I had severe pain across my lower back and down one or both legs.

This is Jennie’s story, she came to me with a number of issues and it was a long process, it had its ups and downs , but Jennie is a determined woman and we worked through the downs  to achieve the very positive ups , she wanted her life back and not a drug induced existence, of which she was having to deal with because of the Morphine Patches , of which I can happily say she no longer needs. At first it she came to me  weekly, but as she progressed she only needed to see me once a month, now it is and when she feels she needs too and the difference in Jennie is quite something.

I was unable to carry on a normal life. I was then put on to Morphine patches which did help -but for the rest of my life? Steve has given me hope. After 18 months, with treatment on the Bioneuro Dry System I am taking little or no painkillers. I have just walked 3 miles with my dog and can look forward to a future.

“Hello

I contacted Steve Kirby on August Bank Holiday 2011,he offered me help straight away. I had been in severe pain for over 4 years after pulling my wet dog out of the river. I had severe pain across my lower back and down one or both legs. No specialist-Orthopaedic, Neurologist or Rheumatoid offered any help. Following MRI scans[which showed several bulging discs I was given steroid and analgesic injections with no effect.

I was also given Denervation [burning of the nerves]  to stop the pain. That did not work either.

I was unable to carry on a normal life. I was then put on to Morphine patches which did help -but for the rest of my life?

Steve has given me hope. After 18 months, with treatment on the Bioneuro Dry System I am taking little or no painkillers. I have just walked 3 miles with my dog and can look forward to a future.”

Julia’sTestimonial For Getfitstayfit Norfolk

The Importance of “Fluid Motion when on Horseback

I have Osteoarthritis in my hips and have been under the consultant at the hospital.

I have been suffering severe pain in my right hip/leg.

The consultant was adamant that this was due to the arthritis and at my age refused to carry out a hip replacement.

Still unsure whether the pain was just due to the arthritis I decided to seek further advice. I am a keen horse rider and have not been able to ride since July due to the pain.

Well I visited Steve Kirby and had three sessions on the Bioneuro Dry Therapy System Sigma Q(∑Q)®

The pain eased considerably and I am now riding my horse with little to no  pain.

I will continue to visit Steve until I feel the need to stop, but feel I will need a top up whilst I am still riding.

Steve and his wife Jacqui are great people with a positive outlook on life and I would never have any hesitation in recommending them here’s to a Pain free 2012

Returning To Work Fit, Healthy And No Back Pain! Thanks To Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Back Injury Treatment

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much for helping me to get my back better.

I had suffered for a few weeks, the pain and lack of ability to move was getting worse.

 

I went to the GP. They gave me Pain Killers and signed me off sick for a month.

Then I saw your advert and called you, thankfully you were able to see me very quickly.

You assessed me and told me the muscles in my lower back were causing the pain. You put me on the Bioneuro Dry Therapy System Sigma Q(∑Q)® and also used Neuromuscular Injury Therapy Techniques and Sports Injury Therapy on my legs.

Then the day after I was able to move a lot better. I came to see you again, the same process took place and I felt great the best I had been in months. 

I have been back to see the GP and they are very pleased.

I’m also now returning to work fit, healthy and no back pain!

Many Thanks

Rob

PAIN Was My Constant Companion, Till Helped By Getfitstayfit Norfolk

I was born with scoliosis and had a Spinal Fusion at three years old. The operation worked very well up until the age of around 20 when I started to notice lower back pain. This increased over the years leaving me struggling with chronic pain. I tried various things like epidural and nerve root injections but nothing seemed to work. In June 2016 I underwent surgery to correct the curve in my spine, taking a piece out and replacing it with a metal cage as well as two metal rods either side for support. Unfortunately during the operation The surgeon caught my spinal cord leaving me in Spinal Shock and temporally paralysed from the waist down, but within days I started being able to move my legs very slightly but I was unable to move my toes or my feet.

Pain, I Suffer with it all the time, so do 4 million people aged 30 suffer from work related injury,

 

Some pain is so severe that they must live on a cocktail of medication in order to cope. 

My PAIN started in 1982 after an accident at work. I was a serving member of the British armed forces. I had hurt myself a number of times over a 10 year period but the last fall did damage to my spine.

PAIN was my constant companion (you know what I’m saying) you learn to live with it because you need to work to pay the bills I drove a cab in London and then ran an employment agency. I wanted to live as normal a life as I could. I rode a motorbike a Yamaha fz750 then a Kawasaki.

I moved up to Great Yarmouth in 2010. I was on my bike one morning when a white van man from came out of a side turning and hit me.

My arm was knocked so far out of the socket it severed all the nerves; this resulted in massive muscle loss in my left arm. James Paget gave me 20 minutes physiotherapy every 5 weeks. It was PAIN, on top of more pain. I was looking for more physiotherapy.

Then I was introduced to Steve Kirby.

Steve gave me a 2 hour workout on the Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q(∑Q)® and that same day I came off my pain killers.

I get twinges now and then but it soon dies down to a slight throb. NO PAIN

I want people to know that PAIN is real and it will stop you from doing so much in life, please don’t let PAIN win.

Steve Kirby and his wife Jacqui, have changed my life and continue to do so, I have feeling in my fingers where I had none before.

Mr Cutts my orthopaedic consultant sent me to Mr Shields the Neuro consultant at Norfolk & Norwich who was pleased at the improvement I have made but all thanks to Steve Kirby.

So if you’re in PAIN give Steve a ring it will change your life for the better.

Steve
