"
The time when bed rest, surgery and drugs, were the prescription
for back pain is gone. New research by physiotherapists at
St Thomas's Hospital, show that a healthy back is a strong
back. But sadly it's still easier to get your Health Authority
to fund an operation, rather than Physiotherapy".

I do a lot of treatments, and have done over the years
for back pain, and I think the most satisfying is this

I have to say, I don't honestly know!"
