Although I am missing all my lovely patients and am looking forward to re-opening the clinic, I have made the difficult decision to remain closed throughout the rest of July and August. This is for practical as well as personal reasons. I will look forward to being able to open the clinic and welcome patients back in September. Many thanks for your patience and understanding.

Keep moving!! Any sustained posture is a bad posture! We are designed to move!

A study published today suggests long periods spent sitting contributed to 70,000 deaths in 2016 in the UK, and for the first time has put a figure on its cost to the NHS — £700 million a year.

There are no perfect postures...
Kids know this already... do you? :)

The best posture is your next posture ;)
Every posture is going to be painful, when you stay in that position for too long. Try sitting in a "perfect" posture for 10 hours. :)

Is this movement bad for your back?
Can this damage your discs?

No.. 😊
A lot of physiotherapists, doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, and the general public have to change their beliefs about the spine.

People with degenerative discs have been told that they can’t bend their back, lift heavy and do manual work.

There are a lot of examples of people who have gone back to doing the very things they’re being told they can’t do.
There is a lot of fear about the structure of the spine.
They have been told to be careful with their backs and have the fear to do harm.

We know that fear is a huge driver of abnormal pain behaviour.

A shift in beliefs has to happen within the medical, physiotherapy profession and in the general public.

We can trust our back and shouldn't be feared. It is a robust, strong structure.
Often with disabling back pain, the motor systems are overactive, hypersensitive. The muscles are guarding the back too much.
That can be driven by habits of movements, habits of posture, fear, anxiety, stress, or just the presence of pain and you developed a protective guarding response.

In this video prof. Dr. Peter O’Sullivan explains more about this problem and tells about his Cognitive Functional Therapy approach, which shows great results for patients with chronic low back pain:

More healthcare professionals need to recognise that things seen on scans in those that hurt, are also often seen in those that don’t...
