Severe Pain - Get Fit Stay Fit

His first words to me were” Can we do this ? I work off shore and want to get back”

I don’t think I will ever regret what I do for a living, I love my job seeing people, Getting Back to Fitness And Being The Best They Can

Then you see some people that are just incredible, their determination, drive and need to Get Back to how they were is overpowering.

Charlie is one such person he came to me Mid March after receiving a phone call from his brother, explaining the situation.

Charlie had a very bad accident the previous December, seeing the X-rays of his injury I thought how much work his surgeon, had done to get this far And the effort,. Charlie had put in to even be able to stand let alone shuffle.

His first words to me were” Can we do this I work off shore and want to get back”

I went on to treat Charlie with the Bioneuro and massage, getting him prepared for his back to work interview with his employers, whom did not expect him back possibly till December 2019, only then the possibility of light duties certainty not back to off shore work .

Well just recently Charlie had an interview with his employers, we still have some work to do but the progress has been amazing and with no need for painkilling medication.

Charlie sent me an email, with outcome.

Hi Steve

While working on a ship early December 2017 in the North Sea in extremely rough weather, I was thrown across the deck.

I had to be taken into hospital with a bad back injury, turns out I had crushed vertebrae, I had to have spinal compression surgery (my nerves were trapped between the discs ) I was told there was every possibility, I may not walk again.

After the surgery I had very limited movement in my Legs, feet and toes, I was put onto a course of physiotherapy, it was working, but very slowly but it got me up onto a frame walking, but it was hard and really slow, in January I was still in a wheel chair.

February came and I had progressed to a walking frame by mid March I had advanced to two sticks, but with the shuffle and hard to put one foot in front of the other and still wobbly.

While talking to my brother he told me about, him having treatment with Getfitstayfit Norfolk and a thing called Bioneuro therapy, which I had never heard of.

I spoke to my physiotherapist and she had not heard of it, I then spoke to my consultant, at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital and he had not heard about it either.

My brother convinced me to make an appointment to meet Steve and have a consultation with him, to see if this Bioneuro therapy would work.

I first arrived on the 21st March still on two sticks, by mid April I was on one stick

Here we are two months down the road I am not using the sticks, I am going back to work on light duties towards Mid June .

Then hopefully within a short period I will be back to work full time and back off shore, this treatment has really made a difference, the possibilities for anyone who’s had spinal compression surgery or suffered with similar problem as myself.

I can’t thank Steve and his Bioneuro and massage treatment, enough for what he’s done for me.

Many Thanks

Charlie.

Low Back Pain and what it means to you

A series of papers, due to a long term trial and study have been published in the Lancet.

They make interesting and worrying reading, asking the worldwide medical profession to stop offering ineffective and potentially harmful treatments and NICE is agreeing with them

Such as Strong drugs, injections and surgery they are generally overkill, they say, with limited evidence that they help.

People may have seen the article on the BBC “Many back pain patients are ‘getting wrong care” if you want to have a look

The truth of the matter is, in a lot of cases they are getting the wrong care.

What we need to look at is.

“Painkillers mask pain they do not heal the damaged area, also Painkillers WILL NOT speed up your recovery

In most cases they don’t help as we think they should, but because the Doctors give them to you and the advertisers say they do, then we believe that it is the right thing to do, when your in pain with your back you may not want to hear that, Your back is stronger than you may imagine , your spine is very strong and it is not easily damaged.

Most back pain is best managed by keeping active

Remember that good exercise and activity, choose the right sort of activity for you and build on it, this can reduce and prevent back pain.

In most cases people have strained muscles in the back, that in itself is painful, the lower back muscles, consisting of your Extensor, Flexor and your Oblique muscles ,

Low back pain can feel very debilitating, when you feel in pain, you do not want to keep active and do exercise, but you need to Avoid bed rest and get moving but keep it gentle, at the same time please avoid aggravating activities, no digging the garden you need to use the principles of kinetic movement when bending or lifting, in a way that is comfortable for you, using the hips and knees.

People talk about “Slipped Discs” this terminology is BAD, your discs Do not slip, they can however Herniate and there is treatment that can help with that.

The thoracic spine is the longest region of the spine, it is also the most complex.

It connects your cervical spine above to the lumbar spine below, the thoracic spine runs from the base of your neck down to your abdomen and It is the only spinal region that is attached to your rib cage. The type of pain in this region, is upper back pain, it is most commonly caused by muscle irritation or tension, a lot of you may have heard the term myofascial pain, in most cases this is caused mainly by poor posture, often bad workplace seating affecting , forward head posture, or any type of irritation of the large back and shoulder muscles, again muscle strain or spasms are an issue.

Then we have to consider Joint dysfunction. In the Thoracic spinal joints, this can become very painful in various ways, from cartilage tears and disc degeneration , developing in the facet joints where adjacent thoracic vertebrae articulate with each other.

It is also possible for a rib to become misaligned or displaced from the vertebrae, this is a case of a tissues muscular injury becoming a structural injury, or even facet joint degeneration (osteoarthritis) and degenerative disc disease can happen at the same time, for these sorts of issues you would need to talk to your Doctor who would more than likely need further confirmation with a scan.

It is that step between being in pain and feeling terrible, to feeling that you can cope, then going on to feeling better.

This is the area that we here at Getfitstayfit Norfolk aim to address , getting from that point of being in so much pain, that you do not want to do anything and feeling that you need to take pain killers, only to find either none or minimal sort term relief, so you take more pain killers and do less.

The cycle starts and that is the cycle we need to break or even prevent. You need to be able to get good quality sleep, if you can, because it will help you feel better overall one of the main things most of our patient’s tell us is that they have not been able to sleep, one thing they also tell us after treatment is that they have slept, this means a lot as it is the first stage of recovery.

We know that Massage can help with low back pain, along with spinal manipulation , here at Getfitstayfit Norfolk we also use the Bioneuro, unlike a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Simulation (TENS) that is digital. the Bioneuro is Analogue and works with the bodies natural ability to heal. it is none invasive, but can get into those muscles quicker and deeper to aid in recovery .

You also need to look at the root cause of the injury.

Is it poor posture
Is it seating position on a work place chair
Have you not used kinetic lifting when lifting something heavy.
Have you overstretched
Have you be overdoing it in the garden or while doing DIY
Are you doing exercises wrong, or an injury while playing sports
Have you had an accident ,that may have long term implications.

Any of these things can be the cause , there are also other factors that we can look at, like a herniated disc or in some cases disc degeneration, we can work with your Doctor on a plan to help with these issues.

What ever the reason, getting you to pain free movement, is the first step and in some cases it is all about baby steps, we work with you at your pace.

To Get You To Be The Best You Can Be.

Don’t wait, as a Soft Tissue Injury can be as debilitating as a broken bone.

We have all done it, twisted funny and hurt our back or shoulder or even the neck. I have heard so many times people say,

” I thought if I just took some pain killers and rested it would go away I have been too busy to deal with it “ or “I didn’t want to make a fuss, you just get on with it after all, the worst I have done is pulled a muscle, but it is just getting worse.”

I have also heard the statement ” I have done exercises, but they make it worse”. The Fact Is Yes you CAN make it worse, if you have trigger points through tension on an injury point, exercise will aggravate it Trigger Points need to be dealt with. So you can exercise productively

A Soft Tissue Injury can be as debilitating as a broken bone, So Please Do Not Underestimate The Damage that you may have done.

Then after a week or so, it is not getting better and more things hurt, you can’t lift something without it hurting, it is affecting your sleep and if it’s you shoulder or neck you are staring getting headaches.

You need to deal with it “THE LONGER YOU WAIT THE LONGER IT TAKES TO HEAL”

I am a great believer in helping my clients to get back to fitness ASAP , having a good clinical outcome for them , not having them in pain and it dragging on and on.

A message from Dawn

“As a Taxi Driver My Back was totally immobile, Steve has made such a difference , but don’t wait till your in agony “

And From Jerry

Myself and my family are indebted to Steve, I have to work long hours for my business and this wouldn’t be possible without Steve’s treatments help and support , also love my Golf, when I do get some spare time I love to play, back issues were making this so difficult, I could not get a good swing, so not a good round of Golf it was frustrating , being pain free was so important to my work, home and relaxation, I can now enjoy the game again and get on with my work also enjoy time with the family .

Thank you Steve

Three Epidural injections, did not touch the pain, but Bioneuro Sigma Q did!

Trevor, Norwich born and bred has fought all his life to be fit healthy and achieve goals in all area’s of life .

Thirty years ago Trevor suffered a serious trauma injury to his lower back. Life had to go on and Trevor had to carry on working, But the injuries did not finish there, in 2012 suffered yet another injury whilst using a Kango hammer.

Over the years this chap has attempted many interventions to restore his well being to no avail .

Exercises, Treatment Looking after his family, with the demands made on him at work and all it brings, became his circle of life, whilst coping with the lower back pain.

Life and muscular pain started to compile and Trevor again took up this issue with his GP. he was referred to see a Rheumatologist they said

“Pain relief with a epidural procedure would help him”.

“Three Epidurals later and not one had help me ” said Trevor .

Unable to stand for long with out pain or enjoy shopping with his wife things were starting to really take there toll on Trevor, he started looking for other avenues to help him, then a friend of his and a recent client of Getfitstayfit Norfolk, advised him to speak to Steve.

Steve explained what he could do for Trevor, from a full assessment to treatment plan and an appointment was made at that first appointment Steve quickly found that Trevor’s Lumber Multifidus muscle was the main cause of the pain “.

“The Multifidus is a very deep muscle in the human body and an excessively hard muscle to work on manually, but with treating Trevor with The Bioneuro Sigma Q, a piece of equipment that uses electrical frequency and can reach into deep muscles without being invasive, at the same time aiding neurotransmitters and blood supply to the area.”

Along with the aid of Massage during and following the Bioneuro Sigma Q treatment, aiding contraction and relaxation of muscles, using muscle energy techniques and exercises, allowing the bodies natural healing process to begin.

From Trevor

“Thank you ,Steve I am the best I’ve been in 30 years and ready for action !”

Back To Work Again, After A Very Painful Long Journey.

Some times with a client you take their journey with them in so many ways.

I am always concerned for my clients and want the best for them, I try to get them back to fitness and I will fight their corner when they need it, some take a lot longer than others, as I have always said coming back from injury is Baby steps and we have to go a the clients pace, I won’t make false promises, I will encourage them, and work with them, to move forward with their lives, but in the end it is down to them and the effort they also put into getting there.

Trevor has been one of those clients, his Journey has taken a long time, but his chronic muscular injuries were sustained over a very long period of time.

Trevor first came to me back in May 2016, he has been back with me on and off since that time, for further rehabilitation treatment, after we had got through to a level of improvement, allowing him to be able to deal with things himself, helping him to get fit enough for working again.

I am so pleased to say Trevor has sent me this message he is a great guy and so glad he is now back working.

He has a great reduction in pain, I know he still has the occasional bad day ,but nothing like he was suffering with and the pain no longer controls him, he is no longer suffering from depression, due to his pain, his life has improved so much and he so deserves it know what he has gone through.

I know its a very late thank you but I wanted you to know , I have got a job at Norse , my knees are still not as great as I would like, but Norse are trying to find a more suitable job for me where its not so hard on them. hope you are both ok no doubt I will see you in the future .

Thank you for all you have done for me ,and hopefully this will inspire others .

I’ve been involved in manual work most of my life, and for many years (having had two kidney transplants 35yrs ago) I then started experience sever muscular & joint pains. I have taken pain killers, going up the scale and tried various alternative therapies, with no joy till I met you, it was when I brought my daughter for treatment with you, as she was unable to drive due to an injury.

A massive thanks Steve for all your hard work in getting me fit enough to work again, I had been off for nearly a year and not seeing any way forward, with various joint muscular and nerve problems, but you sorted them one by one and you never gave up on me.

I would highly recommend such a lovely, caring, giving, dedicated person.

kind regards Trevor.

Suddenly a bit of hope after a year, with unbearable Neuropathic foot pain in both feet and foot drop on my right side.

Those who really know me ,will know that I enjoy learning everyday about the human body ,it’s functions and how to help all my patients to have the best quality of life possible .

Pain and injury free and being able to contribute to society to play a positive role !.

Here is a young man who is a work in progress.

Recently, I have been liaising with his physiotherapist at a national spinal unit ,what a joy is was to talk about importance of us working together, to get the best for our mutual patient using exercise, massage, combined with Bioneuro Therapy to achieve a good clinical outcome, as far as possible .

Here is Joe’s story so far .

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.

Its nearly a year on and I have improved a lot, but suffer I with unbearable Neuropathic foot pain in both feet and foot drop on my right side.

“I seem to have reached a plateau, my physiotherapist, decided they could no longer help me, as they had ran out of ideas, but I was not about to give up.”

Hearing about Steve from a friend I contacted him straight away he said. “I will try my very best to help you and do all I can.”

Suddenly a bit of hope in such a hard few months! I’ve been seeing Steve for a few weeks now and although I know its going to be a long road, the improvements especially in the mornings have been a real blessing. Massage combined with Steve’s machine, we have already noticed a reduction the need of the pain killers ,feet feeling warmer and sensations all over my body in a good way .

Steve has been true to his word, even discussing tactics with my physiotherapist and together they feel there is more can be done.

“I am Feeling much more positive now and have a goal, to be back walking without crutches in the not to distant future.”

Why Are Our Young Football Players Still Taking So Many Painkilling Drugs ???

While watching Last Sunday’s Morning News, yet again the subject of

Footballers and the increase taking of powerful painkilling medication was being discussed

We all know that for any team it is all about the results on the field that is important, but is it really at the cost of the long term health of your main assets, Your Team’s Players.

This is worrying, these days when we know the long term damage of Painkilling medication, yet we have some brilliant Neuromuscular therapist, Bodywork Therapist and Non invasive and non chemical treatments out there, why are they still using painkilling medication as a Stop Gap, injuries need to be treated,

Muscles when they are Hypertonic , are more prone to injury these guys need their muscles to be more supple , they need treatment not masking tape practice. Players need to be looked after , then teams will get the best out of them and less injuries.

Hearing what Professor Dvorak said about , half of players competing at the past three World Cups routinely took non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and that it had become a cultural issue, part of the game.

This is what Professor Dvorak had to say

“This is Elite footballers’ “abuse” of legal painkillers risks their health and could “potentially” have life-threatening implications ” He says some clubs prioritise success over player welfare, leading to players feeling “pressured” into taking medication to overcome minor injuries and play in important games.

While according to Former England defender Danny Mills ,”Painkillers in football have always been widespread – “and always will be, I’ve been in many dressing rooms where I’ve seen other players pressured into playing with painkillers,”

When you hear that this is what is happening to young players that have just started their career, it is even more of a concern, children want to grow up and become Footballers, that is great news,” but do we want our children to grow up to be put in the situation that we are seeing young players going through now .”

Let’s treat the players as we should and keep them in top form, they need to have good treatment

I am not talking about wrapping them up in cotton wool. I mean good regular therapy . They need to be on the pitch playing not on the bench in pain.

Footballers have only a short career as it is they should not be spending it in pain that is masked with the use of painkillers, then end up with surgery as most do in later life

Early intervention is essential for Trauma related injury, Reduction in the need for Pain killing Drugs they only Mask Pain they do not heal

The Bioneuro Sigma Q System works with the patients own body to help the healing process begin a lot faster , our bodies natural instinct after injury is to heal, The Bioneuro system can help deliver its effective energy direct to the injured area increasing nerve and blood supply , waking up moribund nerves regenerating nerve pathways there by accelerating recovery.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sara (Will’s Mum)

UPDATE

6 weeks on

Will has now come to the end of his treatment.

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

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

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

No surgery required! Fantastic news for Will!

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

Also means saving NHS money on theatre/operation costs .

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

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

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

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

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

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

This Was Not good

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What Foot & Heel Pain Treatment in Norwich, Norfolk ???

Mark came to our clinic here in Norwich in a great deal of PAIN in his FOOT and more now he is .“Pain Free, yes after 18 month’s of constant pain he is now pain free in his heel and back he is now back participating in sport once again and enjoying life. “

Mark told us “ About 24 months ago I started suffering with a pain in my left heel and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. During the next 12 months I tried various methods to resolve the issue from Adjustable boots to massage balls for your feet all which gave me limited relief for short periods of time.

I was recommended to contact, “Get fit stay fit Norfolk and talk to Steve, make an appointment for an assessment.”

I met Steve at his treatment room and he set about assessing my problem with my heel, however what I got was a complete MOT….Steve asked a series of questions about my current well being, completed a physical and set about assessing me.

“So, just my heel your thinking, oh No, I also mentioned to Steve that I suffered from Backache from time to time and the occasional headache as well but the main issue was with my heel.”

It soon became clear that my backache was as a result of me walking differently because of the pain in my heel. Steve suggested a course of Bioneuro Therapy coupled with a deep massage.

To be honest, I was sceptical with the approach as I hadn’t seen this type of therapy before, however in for a penny in for a pound as they say, as I thought I’ve got nothing to loose.

Early results were frustrating for me as I was getting some relief for short periods of time but the pain continued for some time. I attended Steve’s clinic weekly and continued with the course of treatment. Steve was also dealing with my back issue and also used Bioneuro Therapy coupled with a deep massage in this area as well and what he called Neuromuscular Manipulation

I cant say that I enjoyed all of the deep massages (No pain no Gain comes to mind) at the time, but the rest was ok and the benefit of this coupled with the Bioneuro Therapy had started to pay dividends.

I hadn’t expected an instant cure and maybe I was hoping for a quicker result.

Steve explained to me that the damage had been done over a long period of time and would take time to heal , but you get to a tipping point when the healing starts to progress and things really do feel better, it is easy to forget how much pain you were in.

This is how it happened to me, the periods where I was pain free started to extend between treatments and the treatments became less frequent that has now brought me to my current status…….Pain Free, yes after 18 month’s of constant pain I’m now pain free in my heel and my back.

I’m now back participating in sport once again and I’m enjoying life.

Regards

Mark

For Raven Giving up Kick Boxing Was not an Option

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Well ,we have saved your knee .”

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

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

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

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.”
