Return To The Green And Bowls, Earlier Than Anticipated, for Michael Thanks to Getfitstayfit Norfolk

Hobbies that involve exercise and socialising are enormously beneficial to both our physical and mental well being.

So when Michael developed a frozen shoulder his time away from his Outdoor and Indoor Bowls was not only painful but frustrating for him.

” I had been to my doctor and was told that I had tendinitis and needed an injection in the shoulder, but there was possibly a 24 week wait, the pain was growing worse and life was getting more difficult and my chances of playing in competitions were proving difficult , I knew I had to do something about it.”

Michael then came to see Steve Kirby at Getfitstayfit Norfolk.

Michael responded to treatment very well right from the start using the Bioneuro and Neuromuscular Techniques with Sports Massage, Steve was able to help Michael gain Pain Free Movement without the need for the Steroid injection.

In a very Short Time Michael was back on the green enjoying his game and his Social life.

“After my very first session with Steve my shoulder felt so much Better with the majority of my movement restored;” enthused Michael “After two more sessions with Steve my shoulder felt completely better.”

It is now three months since Michael’s treatment he has had a great season of Competition Outdoor Bowls with out so much as a twinge.

Steve and I went to see Michael at a match and get some photos, also to thank him for the referrals he had sent our way.

It was great to see how well he was doing, although we had made Michael very happy and his game is now back on top form, one of his competitors may not have been to happy , he came to us and asked.

“Why have you fixed him we were doing so well while he was injured”.

“Well you can’t please everyone, but we are so glad we were able to please Michael.”

She had suffered from severe pain in one of her feet, as the bones had not fused correctly.

Since Mel’s early teenage years she had suffered from severe pain in one of her feet as the bones had not fused correctly.

Bio-mechanics and numerous interventions had been attempted by health professionals when finally, six years ago, a plate was implanted into Mel’s foot with a view to alleviating the pain.

Unfortunately, the pain remained and her life continued to accommodate it.

Mel is a fan of Rock and she used to love going to concerts to listen to live music, unfortunately, the pain in her foot made standing at gigs extremely uncomfortable.

Even the day-to-day running around after her children gave her, pain and distress.

Recently Mel visited Steve here at our clinic in Blofield. We treated Mel using the ‘Bioneuro Therapy System’ with its ‘Sigma Q’ technology. She said of the treatment.

“At first I didn’t want to move my foot, but when I did.. .great or what…NO pain! That was my first experience,”

Thankfully the foot pain had become so infrequent Mel’s GP decided it was time to have the plate removed.

Steve gave Mel some pre-operative treatment and the operation was a success.

Since then she has attended three post-operative treatments and is now walking normally and returning to work.

About her treatment she says

“If you experience pain that affects your lifestyle and would like advice or Treatment to make life easier, then please get in touch with Steve Kirby at Get Fit Stay Fit Norfolk.

When Steve came to Getfitstayfit Norfolk , He was not in the best of form and wanted to do the” 100km Race to The Stones”

When Steve came to me , he was not in the best of form we talked and he told me what he wanted to do, his answer stopped me in my tracks it was ” Simple I have decided to run 100km non stop! A Race to the stones”

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

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 !

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”

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

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

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

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.

Powerful ,I feel ,taller ,pain free, supple, warmer and a lot happier because I can sleep ,that’s with no tablets needed ,great!.

Are You One Of The Walking Injured.

As a Sports and Neuromuscular Injury therapist , at my Injury Clinic Getfitstayfit Norfolk, I deal with some quite traumatic muscular injuries, sometimes injuries that people have lived with for years , ” The walking Injured” these people are the ones that feel that their only option was to just live with it, they are regularly having to take pain killing medication, they adjust their lives around the pain of the injury, until one day enough is enough or because of a further injury they have found themselves in a situation where they have to deal with the original injury also.

Finding themselves coming to see me , my job is to find the problem, by getting to the root cause of the injury , then Repairing it.

By Repairing the injured muscle, working into the superficial and deep Fascia , we can move on to Recovery, by this I mean getting the muscles working for themselves again gently coxing them back in to functional ability, getting the blood flowing back into them and releasing the tension in the muscles .getting all the body systems to work in a cohesive order .

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.

My job is to break that cycle encourage the muscles to not go into default mode and re-educate the muscles to once again work in a fluid movement .

This is when regular gentle exercise of the injured muscle starts to pay off, if we try to exercise injured muscle before it has been repaired or had time to recover, then we will not move forward, in fact it is more than likely to impede recovery or in some cases, further damage may occur.

There are three essential steps to my clients being back to being as fit as they can be, to reach the final goal you have to have to take the first step , I will be able to help you to reach the third step, Remember, you can’t have Rehabilitation with out Recovery and you can’t have Recovery with out Repair .

Lets start with that Repair of your injury so you DO NOT REMAIN ONE OF THE WALKING INJURED.

“Diary of a Golfer”

When being injured with Back Pain for an ardent Golfer, was not an option.

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.

Monday lunch time. My daughter suggested I contact a Mr. Steve Kirby in Blofield. I’d never heard of him but I did make contact and, luckily for me, he was able to see me at 5.30. I arrived and he listened to what I had to say and diagnosed a typical golfing problem with the muscles in my lower back.

He told me that, after treatment, I would be able to walk back to my car unaided. (I thought, yeah, right). After treatment (about 1 hour) I did indeed walk back to my car unaided and almost free from pain.

He booked me in for Wednesday morning and I had the follow up treatment. Then – No pain at all. Brilliant! (So good in fact that I took my wife for treatment for her neck and shoulders. Great results here as well)

I would, and have, recommend him to anyone. He is very professional, thorough and delivered welcome relief from my pain .”

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

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.

Sporting Injuries, Do not let them ruin your life.

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

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 ?

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.

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.

Hamstring Injury Treatment In Norwich, When You Need Help Fast.

Jonathan came to us with very tight Hamstrings, as someone who plays a lot of Rugby, he needed this to be dealt with quickly, leaving it and waiting for it to recover on its own was not an option.

Hamstring Injury can cause further Muscular Issues in the Body.

Jonathan’s Testimonial

Thank you for the treatment I received last week on my hamstrings. Since starting back, pre season rugby training my hamstrings have really suffered. So I thought it best to get some help, I have had treatment from Steve Kirby of Getfitstayfit Norfolk for other injuries I have suffered, but decided I needed to be on top off this from the beginning.

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

Regards

Jonathan
