Back to Basics for Back Pain Relief.

Yes that was a jolly clever title wasn’t it? Oh allright then, suit yourselves.

This article I found on the  scotsman.com website by Gina Davidson relates the story of a lady called Katherine Ross.

Three months ago she was on 24-hour pain medication, barely able to walk, and contemplating invasive back surgery. This was due to extreme sciatica which started shortly after the birth of her son six years ago.

Unable to work, in much pain and waiting for her operation, a friend recommended her physiotherapist, Kirsten Lord of the Edinburgh Physiotherapy Centre. "She told me she'd made a huge difference to her, and I had nothing to lose so I went," says Katharine.

To cut a long story short, she is now pain free for the first time in years, not having to take any medication, and working again, running her own business. The operation has been cancelled, and she is looking forward to happy times.

This all really boils down to as the headline says, getting back to basics, in this case the right sort of physiotherapy.
