I arranged for a local Osteopath to treat my girlfriend as she's got a sore back, and he comes round to our house with his portable table to provide the treatment.

Last night I decided I wanted a good stretch as my neck and shoulders were getting stiff. Wow - he prodded and pocked, pulled and stretched... my shoulder blades are so much looser today (that was painful!) and my neck feels a few inches longer (it was great to be stretched by the neck!) and he dug his sausage-fingers between the base of my skull and C1 and... boy, that was good!

He said that I should do this every 6 to 8 weeks to keep things from getting too tight. I slept like a baby too.

Highly recommended!

Hello!

My physio does this for me too! Flippin hurts at the time but it's soooo worth it! Having a tight neck and shoulders and the headaches that come with it are just horrible! I had treatment on Wednesday and am feeling so much better for it!

I've just started seeing an ostepath for cervicogenic headaches and it really seems to help. Haven't asked him to sort out my shoulder yet. That's this week's mission! Hope ir works!
