A Mum Say’s Thanks to Getfitstayfit Norfolk, After Our Helping her Daughter To Be Free From Pain

A Mum Say’s Thanks to Getfitstayfit

Claire came to us after a phone call from her very concerned mother, asking Steve if he could help her daughter. Claire in the past had suffered from SPD after child birth with reoccurring problems while having her 2nd child, The problem for Claire was these symptoms had not been fully relived, leaving her with further issues.

Have a look at what her mother had to say after Claire had  2 treatments with Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Dear Steve,

I felt I must just write to you to express my heartfelt thanks for the care and Bioneuro Therapy System treatments that you have given Claire these past 2 weeks.

 

I have had to watch my beautiful daughter undergo the trauma of surgery just 6 weeks after giving birth to her little daughter Bessie 3 years ago, followed by many, many unsuccessful treatments, to say nothing of taking an endless variety of prescription pills all with their own distressing side effects, and on top of all of this, being whisked off in an ambulance to A&E in the middle of the night on least 12 several occasions.

 

Leaving her distraught husband and little one’s behind. {It was always me, her Mum who went to the hospital with her every time}. During all of this she has endured acute back and leg pain which has only added to the misery of her not being able to function as a fit and active wife and mum.

I’m telling you Steve this has been a truly awful time for all of us.

Claire finally reached her lowest point with the back / leg pain and was at ‘rock bottom’ when she made that cry for help, asking me to arrange to bring her to see you.

When we arrived at the door of your lovely wooden treatment cabin I think we were all praying for a little miracle. And yesterday Steve I saw before my very eyes that miracle, but it was not just a little miracle but a VERY BIG ONE !!

Claire was walking & moving more upright and freely than I have seen in a very, very long time…..  and PAIN FREE and all of this after only 2 Bioneuro Therapy System Treatments what an incredible result !! 

 

We all know that Claire still that last little bit of the mountain to climb but with just maybe 1 or 2 more Bioneuro Therapy treatments, together with your care and support Steve there is absolutely no doubt she will make it to the top !

The smile on her face as she stood up after her treatment yesterday said it all.

Thank you Steve from the bottom of my heart,

Wendy.

On Friday 24th October we met up at Thorpe Lodge,  welcomed by Maria from Broadlands Council who did a fantastic job of putting the event together , then welcomed by Councillor Adams who opened the event .

We presented the Award to a fantastic young man Jonathan Drane the evening was excellent we had a chance to meet up with another inspiringly young man, Paralympics Athlete Danny Nobbs and to hear his story as you can imagine we were blown away, by his determination, all the work he has put in and how he views life, then getting to meet Jonathan was just amazing, a little about Jonathan and why Broadlands considered him a worthy winner, after meeting him we also understood why and hope to be working with him in the future.

Jonathan has also started working towards a degree in psychology at The Open University. Studying for any degree is always challenging. Jonathan was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 15, and so was often excluded from lessons, and wracked with feelings of self-doubt and anxiety. Prior to this he had not received any additional help at school. He has now been made patron of the ADHD foundation.

In his first ever Visually Impaired, VI, competition, Norwich lad Jonathan Drane clinched an epic victory, seizing gold after winning every fight by putting on an excellent display of fighting at the VI US Open in Colorado. Drane was a plumber with his own business before his eyesight deteriorated due to Corneal dystrophy diagnosed as part of a routine eye check in 2011. He fought on the GB senior squad but now he is aiming for success as a part of Great Britain’s Visually Impaired judo team training at The British Judo Association Centre of Excellence

Sporting Injuries, Do not let them ruin your life.

Sporting Injuries

Ben came to Getfitstayfit Norfolk with 2 Chronic Sporting injuries, that were causing problems for him, possibly even to the point, that he would not have been able to continue, on the career  path he had set himself on and worked very hard to achieve.

This is his Testimonial

I started playing rugby at the age of 10, which most of you will know has its fair share of lows when it comes to injury. When I was aged 11 ,I picked up an injury to my groin whilst playing which would further deteriorate for the next 7-8 years without proper treatment.

I was able to continue playing but would often finish games early due to the smallest of impacts causing me unbearable pain. This had a big affect on my personal game as my specific position required skills that demanded that area of my body to be fit and this injury made playing extremely difficult.

A couple of  months ago I had my first treatment with the Bioneuro Sigma-Q & Hydrotherm Massage system with Steve Kirby. I was going for treatment to my groin and also my shoulders.

The last couple of years I had suffered from multiple dislocations to one shoulders and muscle ruptures in the other shoulder. This meant that I would rest until I thought the injuries had recovered and as soon as I started weight training the injury would re-occur, often worse than before.

The scar tissue and damage to the muscles were so bad it would prevent me from even lifting my arm due to the pain.

The session with my shoulders lasted 1 hour where the  Bioneuro Therapy   worked extremely deep into the muscle. At the end of the session Steve performed hands on massage with me laying on the Hydrotherm massage bed (boy was it warm and so relaxing)  he then advised me of  my training plan for the next week.

During the following week I was able to weight train, pain free for the first time in 2 years.

I then had treatment the Bioneuro System treatment on my groin. I was concerned at what effect this would have as Steve had assessed the injury and identified that the there was major tension to the muscle surrounding the groin.

After 2 session of the  Bioneuro & Hydrotherm Massage system the flexibility in my groin is the best it’s been in 8 years

and I now have pain free mobility which I never thought I would regain.

The benefits of the Bioneuro  & Hydrotherm are better than anything I have experienced in injury clinics before, and believe me I’ve had my fair of treatment.

To go from severe pain to completely pain free training in just one session pushes the boundaries of what I thought possible, especially considering the severity of my injuries. Thanks to Steve Kirby and the Bioneuro Sigma-Q & Hydrotherm Massage system, I can stay fit for life.

We are pleased to say that Ben is now working with a Top Rugby Club and pushing forward with his career.”

Painful Calf Strain, How we at Getfitstayfit Norfolk CAN HELP YOU

Painful Calf Strain, How we at Getfitstayfit Norfolk CAN HELP YOU

Here at Getfitstayfit Norfolk, we have treated quite a few people with Strains and Sprains.

We can assure you a Calf Strain is very painful, it can keep you off work for several weeks.

We know this is a typical  Football Player Injury along with Groin Strain and Hamstring.

Calf Strain can quite often after a Thigh Strain, which in its self is extremely painful , this then can add on further injury time if it is not managed well keeping players from playing for a number of weeks 

Not everyone has that luxury, of down time to get better after such an injury, if they are playing socially for fitness and fun with friends.

They need to get back to work in a shorter time period, they also need to be back on form.

So what causes this sort of problem and how can it be fixed ?

A calf strain is an injury characterized by tearing of one or more of the calf muscles and typically causes pain in the back of the lower leg.Here at Getfitstayfit Norfolk, we have treated quite a few people with Strains and Sprains. We can assure you a Calf Strain is very painful, it can keep you off work for several weeks, now we know a certain Liverpool Football Player has now got a Calf Strain having only just got over a Thigh Strain, which in its self is extremely painful , he it seems will be unable to play for another few weeks. Not everyone has that luxury, they need to get back to work in a shorter time period, they also need to be back on form. So what causes this sort of problem and how can it be fixed. First of all what is the problem . A calf strain is an injury characterized by tearing of one or more of the calf muscles and typically causes pain in the back of the lower leg. There are 2 major muscles that are affected one of which originates from above the knee joint this is the Gastrocnemius the other of which originates from below the knee joint is the Soleus, Both muscles insert into the heel bone via the Achilles tendon, we all have probably had a twisted ankle at one time and Achilles has a lot to answer for.

What causes it ?

During contraction (Pulling of the muscle ) of the calf, tension is placed through the calf muscle. When this tension is excessive due to too much repetition or high force, the calf muscle can be torn.

There is always a background, or root cause to this problem some

of these factors can be.

There is always a background, or root cause to this problem someof these factors can be. Not warming up the muscles sufficiently Inappropriate/incorrect training Poor flexibility in the calf Bio-mechanics may be out of line causing poor foot posture Ankle joint stiffness Calf weakness Inadequate rehabilitation following a previous calf strain Decreased fitness level Fatigue due to excessive training Neural tightness (Calf muscle tightness is defined by any activity or situation in which those muscles stay contracted beyond or independent of physical exertion).

What is the outcome of a tear? 

This may be from a small partial tear, whereby there is minimal pain and minimal loss of function, to a complete rupture which may require surgical reconstruction.

Why are Strains and tears are graded  from level 1 to level 3 ?

  • Grade 1 Tear: ) A small number of fibres are torn resulting in some pain, but still allowing full function. Rest is needed.
  • Grade 2 Tear: ) A significant number of fibres are torn with a moderate loss of function.(Most calf strains tend to be in the Grade 2 Level)
  • Grade 3 Tear: ) All muscle fibres are ruptured resulting in major loss of function. Very painful and can take a while to come back from this.

So what can be done, to help people who may have done this sort of damage ?

If it is a Grade 3 tear then surgery is the only real answer, but help with pre opp is of real benefit and will aid towards post opp rehabilitation.

Keeping the rest of the muscles supple makes the surgery easier, less chance  of Muscle imbalances, will keep your

Bio-mechanics in line, aiding with flexibility.

Grade 2 tear, this is all about promoting healing and the sooner it can be dealt with the better early intervention, rest and elevation as much as possible, initially ICE is your friend.

This is where we can help greatly with the cutting edge equipment The  Bioneuro Sigma Q, we can help with the promotion of healing long before, other manual methods of intervention, therefore cutting down healing time and the  need for Pharmaceutical  intervention,  this also applies to a Grade 1 tear. Have a look at Johns testimony to see how we helped him after his Strain.

Upper, Lower Back & Shoulder Pain,Till He Came To Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Back & Shoulder Pain

Guy is a Skilled hard working Plasterer by trade, he has built up his Local business, Hammond and Fox Plastering to a high standard and is very particular about his work and knows how important it is to get a smooth finish.

As you may know good plasterers are hard to come by, but for a long time Guy has been suffering, after 9 years of pain seeing various practitioners, getting no better, he was getting fed up with how the pain in his Neck, Upper, Lower Back and Shoulders, was affecting his sleep and smooth mobility. He came to Getfitstayfit Norfolk after a very difficult time needing help.

After his treatment this is what he had to say.

This is an Email of how he feels now, and how he feels about Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Hi Steve, 

Please find below my thoughts on my treatment received from you these past wks.

I sustained a back injury way back in late 2005 and in the past 9 years I have had treatment from an Osteopath, regular monthly Chiropractic treatment And 3 different NHS Physiotherapists, all giving me a different  diagnosis. The back pain was still there leaving me with a reduced sleep  of 6 hrs per night before the intense pain would wake me up.

I had seen Steve Kirby’s advert in a local magazine and decided to give him a try, he quickly set to work with the Bioneuro therapy system   Sigma Q, on my Upper & Lower back while treating me with Neuromuscular Injury Release  Techniques.

He  told me he was amazed at how long I had been in pain for, he would expect to see improvements in my condition almost straight away, due to the way his Bioneuro therapy machine works.

He told me he was amazed at how long I had been in pain for, he would expect to see improvements in my condition almost straight away, due to the way his Bioneuro therapy machine works.

After the second session I had 3 days of NO PAIN , at all during the night for the first time in 9 long years, including better mobility in my back and shoulders.

With all the previous treatments I have received from different practitioners, NOT ONE of them has worked in being able, to reduce the pain at all, and improve my mobility so much.

I am looking forward to a pain free Christmas after 9 years of back pain and reduced nightly sleep. I have seen many so called experts about my back including chiropractors and NHS physiotherapists with none being able to offer effective treatment. Steve treated me with the Bioneuro therapy and Neuromuscular Techniques he uses ,I am now enjoying fabulous results .

After so many years living with the pain and discomfort I am finally reaching a point where I can get a good nights sleep and the improvement in my back movement has been excellent.

I can thoroughly recommend Steve as I am delighted with the results I have had.

If someone reads this review in a similar situation to me, then I can highly recommend Steve and his machine to you .

Kind regards,

Guy

We are pleased to say Guy did have a pain free Christmas and is having quite a few nights good sleep.

The Importance of “Fluid Motion when on Horseback”

Advice About Her Back Injury

Here in Norfolk we have some great places If you are a horse rider, from Training Stables, Show jumping rings, Pony Trekking, we even have a Polo Club at Langley Abbey, we thank Sally Lloyd from the Norfolk Polo club, allowing us this photo, but to have a look at some other photo’s and find out more, please have a look at their website.

You will also know that people who do not ride think it looks easy and that the rider is just sitting on the horse’s back, letting the horse do all the work, while all the rider has to do is give instructions when needed like, whoa and turn, I can assure you it certainly is not the case. There is much more to riding than the casual observer may realise. There is no such thing as passive horse riding.  Unlike any other sport you are in a position of joint dependence between you and another animal, more than just a team playing a sport together, you are in fact aiming to be at one with your movements and that of the horse becoming one fluid movement.

Be it at competition level or riding for fun, there is a unique correlation of the rider’s movement against the movement of the horse; this can prove to have extraordinary benefits for all elements of the human body. It is also vital if you aim to improve your level.

As we need to focus on the benefits and avoid any injury, yes we know these can happen so more reason to stay in shape , putting massage into a physical training regime  is and should be considered  a must and useful tool.

As much as we need to learn to ride and understand the horse, we also need to understand what our body is doing and the muscles it is using, we have to adapt to the horses muscles movements and use ours to the best of both our advantage, but how do you use your muscles, first of all you should realise that muscles do not control movement they only facilitate it.

Your Nervous system is the controller and throughout your body you have signalling stations, these are your Proprioceptors, they are at special points in the body, sending the information telling your body how and when it should move, without them we would become dysfunctional, we would not have coordination and would bump into things.  Proprioceptors send back all the valuable feedback so the nervous system responds and recruits muscle appropriately, creating tension or force that will then pull on the fascia that will in turn result in coordinated movement. This is why it is so important to keep muscles flexible; they will then be able to allow the Proprioceptors to keep sending the right messages.

This is why it is so important to keep muscles flexible; they will then be able to allow the Proprioceptors to keep sending the right messages.

You do need however to keep on top of any injury,  if an injury occurs , don’t ignore it deal with it. So that your body is not left to over compensate in other areas, putting your body out of synchronization and adopting “Pain Avoidance behaviour”, is not a good idea, after all you want to keep that fluid synergy   between you and the horse

For different sports within riding you use your body differently, for instance if you were riding on a pony trek, or a afternoon leisurely exercise, this would still provide cardiovascular benefits, just an hour of horse riding can burn off more calories than jogging or riding a bike for 30 minutes, when you start to ride you will notice how your muscles will change and become in better condition.

There is a simple explanation for this, it is in the fact that as the rider you have to react to every movement of the horse by having to adapt to the correct position in the saddle, your muscles must contract and relax according to and in conjunction with the horse’s movement, in doing so, every single muscle of your body will naturally be toned and strengthened.

You will use your Transverse Abdominals muscles more, because of mounting and dismounting from the horse twisting and turning and bending and flexing, did you realise there are more than 29 muscles used in aiding core stability and you will use all of them, you will also use your Adductor’s when guiding the horse along with your TLF, ITB and your Glutes, that is a lot of muscle work on just what could be considered simple riding.

When you are doing Show jumping movements you will have to use more forward shoulder and neck movements, rise and fall movements using your Hamstrings down to your Soleus and Gastrocnemius, these are the muscles that can be very prone to tightness, regular Massage can help with keeping these muscles flexible.

As you grow in confidence with riding as you will, let’s face it, you will have to if you are going to be capable of having  control of an animal that is bigger than yourself, the horse does need to feel your confidence for them to feel confident in you, remember it is a partnership.

You may want to get involved with some of the other sports on horseback such as Dressage or Show jumping, or you may like a faster pace and become part of  in a team, you may take an interest in Polo.

This is a fast and invigorating sport, it is exhilarating and demands a lot of technique and flexibility, needing all your abilities, the muscles you will use a lot in Polo, will be your Core muscles.

There is no getting away from the fact that you have to work and keep all your muscles in shape, you will also find that you will build up your reaction times, you may not think it when you first start, but you will really become more mentally aware, of your surroundings, the game usually involves more manoeuvring and shorter plays, lower speeds and space limitations of an arena.

Advice About Her Back Injury

You will have to  use  your  Deltoids  and the upper body muscles when you have  to pull a horse up short , this will happen in a Mêlée  and as using your body to

pull a horse up quick takes a lot of effort, it will be worth developing these  muscles , but do not try over developing, you want them to be flexible.

Fluidity in Motion when on Horseback, is the key

As we say it is all about fluidity, adapting and improving, go to a game, find out about training, judge for yourself, find out what is right for you, but the main thing is to keep yourself fit for purpose.

Injury Will Prevent The Fluid Golf Swing.

Injury Will Prevent The Fluid Golf Swing

You can’t do a thing if you’ve not got that swing. Sounds like words from an old song, but believe me having treated quite a few Golfers these are words I hear quite a lot,when that injury occurs,  you won’t have that Swing.

Lets face it folks when it comes to Golf it is all about the swing, and the follow through and if you can’t do that then you are not playing Golf, at least not how you should be. to develop a good fluid swing being physically relaxed, more supple makes a better functional swing, from the back swing to the follow through .Speed comes from the more relaxed posture.

First of all you need to get the basics right it makes a fundamental difference, did you know that a move, that is wrong in the first place will always be wrong. When you learn to play your muscles adjust accordingly so if you have been taught the positions right it will follow that your body will adapt accordingly. the same applies if you learn the wrong move’s  from bad positioning . those same muscles movements will be repeated again and again, breaking a bad habits in position is harder to do than you would think so start right, then improve.

You have to Set up right, to do this you must ,  to be able to develop a solid swing technique to do this you must  be able to move your body freely and for your body to move as freely as possible.

When being injured with Back Pain for an ardent Golfer, was not an option.20140715_142514 How an Injury Led him to Getfitstayfit Norfolk This is a testimonial from a very ardent Golfer, for him to be unable to play due to injury was not a good thing, action was get rid of the injury. “Diary of a Golfer” Saturday- Played Golf – no problems (except my swing). Sunday – awoke with slight niggle in my lower back which got worse as the day went on. Monday. – awoke in such pain that I could hardly get out of bed and had to use a crutch to get around. Terrible pain in lower back.
Try a warm up before you play ! Roll your neck but be careful not to go too far back. Shrug your shoulders rolling them forwards then backwards. Bear hug yourself. Roll your trunk around your hips. Stretch one arm up above your head and bend your elbow, then pull your elbow down with your other hand. Rock up and down on your toes; raise both hands above your head and lean from side to side. Take a step forward, lean back on your rear foot, and lift the toes of your forward foot off the ground. Roll your ankles keeping your toes on the ground.

Poor flexibility is a key risk factor for a golf injury

You have to start with  balance, for balance you need to have good support from your core muscles i.e. your transverse abdominals.  Your weight should be in the middles of your feet this balance is essential, this is when your glutes and hamstrings come in to their own, and you need this balance both left to right and back to front.

You need to be able to  Push your hips back, angle your spine toward the ball and  flex your knees, if you have good posture it helps with balance and stability. I am not going to tell you how to make each move you need to be learning that from a Professional player, most clubs have one or two who for a fee and it is worth it will get you training on the right road. There are also lots of videos out there to help.

Another injury problem for  Golf players are injuries due to over use of muscles , yes you need to practice and it can be additive, but you need to have time out to rest, unless you are a professional player, you are likely to also have a full time job and Golf is your hobby, your interest, your sport of choice , so you will have to be able to do your normal job as well as having time for Golf.  Don’t let your hobby takeover your job,  it needs to be fun and something you look forward too, it needs to be something you enjoy not a chore and certainly not a pain in any shape or form , Golf is great exercise far from being a passive sport, that does not require any real degree of fitnessGolf incorporates cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and even balance and coordination. You may no realise this, but Golf even helps in the  prevention of brain degradation, which can result in loss of memory . Golfing forces you to remember, to use your brain more to remember plays,  numbers, images, even specific  techniques and tip  . Therefore you are in a win, win situation , it is  a great all-around way to exercise both body and mind.

Golf uses a number of different  muscles  throughout the body, from your neck, shoulders hips knees down to your feet and to be at your best and vital to help you execute that winning golf driver swing you have to keep them supple.

This is where Regular Massage, can be of great benefit . And adding to your training regime By using

These treatments will help improve your mobility, balance not to mention increase strength and power.

Hydrotherm Massage that works deeper than orthodox massage aiding “Vasodilatation “or a good blood supply to all your muscles. Lying on beds of heated water relaxation will rejuvenate your muscles help to give muscle strength and a greater range of motion to aid your game.

With the Aid of The Bioneuro Therapy system the sigma Q technology that will work deeply into those deep muscle area’s, more than other therapies available, e.g. lower back to enhance your core stability and body movement .

Our aim is to keep you fit, flexible and free to play a great round of Golf.

Steve used  Bioneuro therapy system Sigma Q(ΣQ)® which  really got deep into the affected area marking a huge and lasting difference.

Then using Sports and Neuromuscular Injury Techniques  treatment on the Hydrotherm Massage bed, was a great way to finish the treatment. The warm bed is fantastic, making me feel very relaxed and comfortable.

All together the whole treatment was great.

Many thanks

and I look forward to future treatments that I may need

Large Items to Move Getfitstayfit Norfolk Say’s GET HELP DO NOT MOVE IT BY YOUR SELF

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.

A client, came to us in so much PAIN her back was injured when she tried to move a Sofa BY HERSELF

Large items to move GET HELP.  if it is a big item to move,  Do Not do it by yourself !!!!

Lot’s of folks have done this , tried to move a sofa or a bed by themselves and the next thing , they have hurt their Back badly.

 

Folks there is so much damage you can do by trying to move things that are frankly just to heavy for one person, you have to stop and think of yourself and the consequences.

Thankfully for this client , a lovely lady  we were able to get her Back problems dealt with very quickly, using the Bioneuro Sigma Q and The Hydrothem Massage System, for others, they are not so fortunate.

It was so good to go and visit the grandchildren which I am sure I would not have been able to do without your fantastic care and assistance. Travelling 200 miles was a daunting thought but in the end was no problem at all. Thank you for all your kindness and help in enabling me to get back on my feet so quickly.

Sprained Calf! Muscle Injury in Norwich, Full Recovery with Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Sprained Calf

Stuy is a client, that has always  worked his body hard and expected a great deal from it, he has also always looked after his body and is extremely fit,   he still is, but a quite severe unexpected injury took it’s toll and created a problem that he knew he had to deal with. This is a recent email we received from him.

Hi Steve.

Well its been a few months since I saw you, with my nightmare Sprained Calf!

I was having a terrible start to the year missing 4 events due to injuries, and I had totally lost my motivation and was feeling very down and negative.

And the from the 1st moment I met you, you inspired my confidence that everything was going to be ok again, when you said.   “We WILL Re-build you!”  lol

I must admit I was a bit nervous putting my feet into a bucket of  water with electrodes in, but again you made me feel at ease, it was a strange sensation as the current worked its way and magic up from my toes. No pain, but could really feel it pushing my heels up, working the damaged muscles.

After the sessions where complete you had not only repaired the Physical, but just as important I was mentally ready, I was “buzzing” ready to take it slowly and get back on track.

I have competed in 3 Triathlons, and feeling great, the injury has totally gone and no problems.

Guyon’s Tunnel Syndrome. Is a common nerve compression affecting the Ulnar nerve as it passes through a tunnel in the wrist called Guyon’s canal It is a similar problem to Carpal tunnel syndrome, but involves a completely different nerve. With Guyon’s tunnel syndrome you will get a feeling of pins and needles in the ring and little fingers, this may also progress to a burning sensation or pain in the wrist and hand it may then be followed by decreased sensation in the ring and little fingers. I reckon a few avid cyclists are going to recognize this symptom as one common cause of this syndrome is from pressure of bicycle handlebars.

I recently swam 4500m in open water, and have entered a half Iron-man for the end of September.

So onwards and upwards, I have my inspiration back and just want to keep growing & improving.

 

Thanks again Steve for the helping me Get fit and STAY fit!

Cheers

Stuy

Then from a clients wife a message he is a Iron-man competitor and triathlete she just wanted to say “Thanks for fixing her husband. He completed Vichy iron-man in 12:32:58 his best iron-man time so far. Then just to top it all a client that had been trying to get a MRI scan with not much success asked me to send a letter to her GP to see if would help, I explained in the letter my finding with the “Bioneuro Assessment tool”, they have now agreed with letting her have the MRI

Karen had suffered from Chronic Whiplash having to live with it for 15yrs

Karen had suffered from Chronic Whiplash having to live with it for 15yrs

Debilitating back and shoulder pain ,battling on through every day, taking  pain killers to enable her to do daily tasks, as a mum of three young children life could be a struggle,

Trying other therapies to no avail, leading Karen to believe that she would never get any better .

Karen came to us at Getfitstayfit Norfolk . We treated her with,  The Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®)  and Hydrotherm Massage System.  As a Therapist, seeing the deep muscles reactivated is always a  powerful thing, because

“I know that  with only orthodox massage it would be almost impossible to achieve.”

Please watch  Karen’s of her injury and her treatment with Steve Kirby of Getfitstayfit Norfolk.

Help with Muscle Pain and Recovery after Surgery in Norwich Part 3

Bioneuro Sigma Steve Kirby in Use

The Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®)

Prior to surgery  I received treatment on The Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®) I knew that if my Abdominal  muscles were flexible this would make the surgery easier to perform.

The Bioneuro Therapy system Sigma Q (ΣQ®) with its patented technology is capable of deep penetration to areas of the body not normally accessible with other superficially similar systems it works deeply into your Central and Peripheral nervous systems. So it can deliver its effective energy direct to the injured area increasing nerve and blood supply, waking up moribund nerves, regenerating nerve pathways, thereby accelerating recovery.

After allowing time for the wound to heal in my case as is with most people the outer scar tissue is about 10- 11 days

I used the Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®) again,  this  then opened  up of nerve pathways and allowing a steady increase in blood flow, bringing the abdominal muscle back into a functional state quickly.

The muscles as I spoke about in the 1st part of my Blog were the “Multifidus” and the “Transversus abdominal muscles “, I also explained the “Multifidus” and the “Transversus abdominal muscles are very deep muscles and vital to maintain the pelvic stability, rotate and stabilize the spinal structure.

Ref Spinal Stability, we worked the area from the T9 working downward to finish at L1, The Posterior Ramus of the spinal nerves.

Please take a look at the photo, in which we have shown how we placed the pads of the Bioneuro , in the appropriate area to maximise effect, we have shown this with the client lying down on their front , this is only to make it easier to view .

Following treatment on the Bioneuro Therapy System Sigma Q (ΣQ®) combined with the massage, and the use of Neuromuscular Release Techniques

I felt totally pain free and was able to move without pain or restriction what so ever.

This process has strongly aided my rehabilitation to this point. Speaking as a, Sports and Neuromuscular Injury Therapist, undergoing surgery, experiencing the pain and knowing the release from pain, after the treatment, the ability to heal quicker and move more freely has made a big difference.
