Osteopathy at BodyBackUp ideal for YOUR mum too?

" Any time at home I say my neck is stiff, my leg hurts - any number of things the immediate response is "It is time you went to see Robin.   I have been doing that regularly for well over ten years and have always been pleased with the results of the treatment.  Robin is very efficient, pleasant and extremely helpful and seems to find the answer to my problems. I am now quite ancient but will continue to visit Robin as long as I can and with his help it will be for many 'comfortable' years. "

Grateful words from Film and Stage Actor Freddie Fox!

" Body Backup, and specifically Robin Lansman, has proven completely invaluable to me over the last year.    As a performer my job dictates that I must have complete control of my body and totally freedom of movement and my regular sessions with Robin have been able to ensure that. For everything from immobilising neck pain to general maintenance of my spine, Robin has managed to get me back on track immediately and ready for work. "

Managing the Sponsored run without the need for the Anti-inflammatories thanks to Sports Osteopath advice and treatment at BodybackUP

"The day after Easter - my back collapsed..... literally. I went out to get a pint of milk, returned home, closed the car door and that was it.......I couldn't move.  A 20 second walk to the house took 20 minutes whereupon I had to immediately lie down and at best I was able to move my upper body to reach over for some anti-inflammatories. Totally bed ridden - all very disappointing and upsetting as I was in training for the Moonwalk Breast Cancer fund raising walk in London which was due to be early May.    After some heavy inflammatories and some initial physio, I returned to see Robin - the last time was in 2007 when he had put me back into shape. Needless to say this time my back was in a much worse state but after the first session, I was able to move more freely.  After the second and third I was able to walk much better.  The fourth session was the day before the 13 mile walk through London. Thankfully, I was mobile enough to do the walk and although I had heat packs on my back and carried some anti-inflammatories with me as precautionary - I am certain I would not have been able to complete it had it not been for the osteo sessions that I had had with Robin prior to the walk.  I now know that I have to 'maintain' the back and plan to visit Robin more than once in 5 years!  I would thoroughly recommend Robin as an osteopath - not only the treatment but the advice has proved beneficial and importantly allowed me to raise close to £700 sponsorship money for breast cancer."

A few sessions of expert Osteopathy to make a big difference to YOUR life

"I had suffered from a painful hip for many years after a motor accident. My GP referred me to a physiotherapist and although I dutifully followed the prescribed exercise routine, the pain just intensified to the point where standing still  for more than a minute or so was unbearable.     I had little or no hope that an osteopath could help me, but thought anything would be worth a try, I even considered going to a faith healer! My prejudices were totally unfounded.  Robin Lansman quickly put me at my ease and told me that he didn't operate on a local level like physiotherapy typically does, but rather took a holistic view of pain and injury.  This would certainly explain why instead of looking at my hip, he looked at my range of movement then set about treating an entirely different area.  I was sceptical that it would make any difference, but when I tried moving again, instead of awkwardness and pain, I felt like my body was actually working with me for the first time in years. After only a few sessions with Robin, I can move around much more easily and am finally optimistic about the future. I won't be making that trip to Lourdes for a good few years yet, and would encourage anyone who feels like they have tried everything to give Body Back-Up a go."

BodyBackUp Osteopathy for Badminton players

"Had a really good experience with Robin.  He has managed to on a number of occasions, to find the "real source" of the problem instead of just the effect like many others have before. At least on two occasions when other practitioners have failed, he has really managed to sort out the problem and really quickly!  Really positive experience! "

BodyBack Up Osteopathy Check-UP with good feedback

"My first visit to Body Back-up must be some 10-12 years ago, I had been experiencing, for some time, pain and stiffness in my lower back when my doctor referred me to Robin Lansman. After an examination and my first treatment I was informed that my problem was mainly due to stiff joints, also my pelvis was out of alignment.  I had a few more treatments and subsequently my problem had been resolved.  I see Robin every six months for a general check up/maintenance which helps to keep me flexible. Occasionally I need a treatment in between when I feel my back is ceasing up or my muscles have gone into spasm and usually just one treatment proves beneficial. I feel very confident and secure in knowing that whenever I have a back problem I know Robin can sort it out for me.  I have recommended several of my friends and the feedback I get is always positive."

Runner & Retired Nurse Practitioner helped with Osteopathy at BodyBackUp

"This year I determined to run a half-marathon.  I trained conscientiously, but as my distances increased so did a pain, which started out as a niggle in my ankle, until it affected my whole leg.  A week before the Big Day I had to stop running altogether and so I missed my target and was bitterly disappointed. After an enforced rest period of a few weeks I started anew with my sights on another local half-marathon, but this time, fearing a repeat of what happened before.  I went to see Robin. He soon found the cause of my problem.  It wasn't my leg, it was my back! In that first session he treated my back and taught me exercises to do at home.  I even found I could touch my toes - the first time for many months. I left my appointment feeling optimistic and very pleased.  The next day I started my training regime, and to my delight found that not only could I run without a twinge in my leg, but that I could go faster and further! One more session with Robin consolidated my previous treatment and not long after that the half-marathon day arrived.  I'm pleased to report that not only did I get round with no pain, but I finished having done a personal best.  Thank you Robin! "

Osteopathy after Disc Surgery....read more on improving posture

"I'm so pleased to have found Robin Lansman, Osteopath. Having had a disc removed from my neck 10 years ago, I've certainly made the rounds of health care professionals on two continents! I also considered myself reasonably 'on top of' the idea of good ergonomics with regard to sitting properly at a desk working on a computer. Well, over the years my set-up has changed due to moving house, changing jobs, etc and I was back to making some basic mistakes with regard to my typing posture. From a photo of me sitting at my home office, Robin Lansman made a couple of suggestions, inexpensive to implement, that addressed a nagging problem in my upper back. I'd recommend Robin Lansman and "Check my posture".

Clear Action points given with hands on Osteopathy from BodyBackUp

"I had big back and neck problems, and I came home very shattered after every day working in front of my computer. I thought I just had to cope with that, because of the nature of getting older and office work! Then I learned about "Check my posture", so I asked Robin Lansman - my Osteopath, to make my posture assessment. I realised there are so many things I do wrong so "I ended up with six clear action points and all of them were quite straight forward to fix", once pointed out ............. "Nothing which would need a big investment or a big change in my office!" It has been 3 weeks since the assessment was done. I really can see the improvement. I have much less back pain, much less neck pain and I still sometimes have the tendency to go back to the bad habits! It's now different and I am trying to exactly what the Osteopath said. I would say there is an 80% improvement so far!"

Get your "life back".....Osteopath Robin Lansman on GP recommendation!

"I was recommended to come to Body Back-Up by my GP. The difference it has made in my life has been tremendous! I have had about six treatments now and whereas I could barely get in or out of the car or stand for any great length of time I now find that my life has changed and I have my fitness back. I have got my life back and my mobility is just so much better now that it was when I first came here to see Robin Lansman. I have got my "life back" and am able to do all the things I couldn't do before and in fact have probably never been able to. Thank you!"

Robin Lansman D.O.
Osteopath

Wait until it gets better of take steps to help your tennis elbow?

"I've had a final treatment with a Physiotherapist about three weeks ago, when she told me she could no longer do anything for me. She also told me to wait for the shoulder to heal or I should consider having a Cortisone injection, which I do not like the idea of. Eighteen months ago, I had a similar problem with my elbow (same kind of symptoms). My GP told me to wait 6 months and if it did not get better to consider a Cortisone injection. I felt I could not wait as I need to be able to use my arms in order to do my job without feeling constant pain and "heavy" arm, and did not want to take an injection without trying something a bit more natural. I therefore went to see Robin Lansman, Osteopath who fixed my problem, in 4 or 5 sessions, if I remember well."

Ski better with help from BODYBACKUP Sports Osteopathy

"Robin Lansman was recommended to me by a skiing friend of mine who was watching me struggling with a "Locked Back" in Klosters.  I had been to a sports doctor who, fancy on paper, prodded me, but didn't actually tell me what to do.  Anyway, I pitched up at Maida Vale and 6 sessions later I am a lot better and my next skiing session was in a different league. Highly recommended! I emailed Robin Lansman digital photographs of my desk at work and he has tweaked how I sit. Also my bike, which was rejected out of hand as being totally unsuitable - such a good idea.  As a result my back is miles better. Body Backup really are very helpful and are highly recommended - they will sort you out."

Osteopathy for long standing problems back pain and for the family

"I have visited Robin Lansman and his team for several years after suffering since my late teens with lower back problems.  Robin quickly pointed out other areas that could bring on the problems and in actual fact, all the other treatments I had gone through in the past were treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.  With a bit of work, and following the exercises, I have reduced my pain to minimal levels, know when things are getting out of balance again and, importantly, know how I can help myself to stop the pain from spiraling out of control. I cannot recommend Body Back-Up highly enough and have sent several members of my family to Robin so that they can also benefit from his expertise and knowledge."

Osteopathy during pregnancy with BodyBackUp

"Robin Lansman's treatments helped me survive a very uncomfortable triplet pregnancy, during which I became so large that I could barely walk.  Yet Robin kept me on my feet and his weekly sessions eased out many of the aches and pains associated with carrying three babies.  I saw Robin right up to the birth, with my last treatment only four days before my babies were born. Each time I saw him I walked out of his surgery feeling much lighter, more comfortable and more able to cope. Robin was a massive help and it was a great relief that I had his treatments to support me through the most physically challenging time of my life. I would definitely recommend Robin Lansman to anyone having a baby."

Osteopathy Treatment with explanations and exercises

"I have been treated by Robin Lansman for a number of years now, as I have always suffered from back problems. Robin's treatment is quick and effective. He is hugely knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do to sort out my mess of a spine or shoulders.  He compliments his treatments with explanations and exercises and within 2-3 treatments I am happily back to my normal self again."

Consultants, Physio's & Doctors and none of the advice or treatments helped

"I have suffered with back pain for 20 years and seen Consultants, Physio's & Doctors and none of the advice or treatments helped. Pain relief worked but only to mask the underlying issue. I have probably spent "Thousand of pounds" on Medication, Private Appointments, Orthopaedic devices and time off work.  AFTER just ONE £45 session my back felt like a "million dollars". PROPER advice and diagnosis has helped along with my own research. I was not "Power Sold" further treatments, but will be making another Appointment next month. Treatment is a two way responsibility and I am so glad I had finally found a healthcare professional in Karen Phillips, who understood and diagnosed me immediately. Am still waiting for the good effects to wear off!   Great nights sleep, drive into work good. Posture issue also identified. The rest is up to me now to maintain and exercise. MANY MANY THANKS I now no longer live in pain or FEAR of back spasm's."

Help with Marathon training

“I was training for the Windsor Half Marathon, and picked up an injury in my foot, which left me hobbling around work, and not able to train. It was in fact extremely painful. I visited BodyBackUp and after one session, walked out of the surgery, started training again and completed the Half Marathon” “All the best.”
