Osteopath

After finding out that my spine was twisted I felt a bit broken. Thinking about it, from the age of about 12 when I was fitted for a school uniform I remember comments about my right shoulder being lower than my left.

So I gave John Mullins in Newport Road a call and he said he'd see me at 4:00 that day. He made me lie on my back and straight away said my right leg was longer and I should have tenderness in my pelvis, ribs, shoulder and neck. He was spot on and said there was a spiraling distortion in my bones but he could put it right in 10 minutes. And that's exactly what he did - he bent my legs and arms across my body and then jumped on me to the tune of sickening cracks and I couldn't help laughing at the comical sight.

By 4:20 he said "that's it" and I said OK, when do I see you again envisaging a lengthy course of bone cracking but he said I was fixed. I walked out in disbelief that every ache in my body had evaporated, my posture was better and I felt stronger and clearer. Best £30 I've ever spent.

Let's see how my new posture works for me tomorrow night...
