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!"
