Sheet metal worker
John was a 45 year old sheet metal worker who was referred to PhysioOne by his doctor after 8 weeks of low back pain. John finally sought help as he was now experiencing pins and needles in his left foot and extreme pain which prevented him from working. Worried about losing his job, needless to say John was a little apprehensive about Physiotherapy.
John was assessed by one of our PhysioOne Physio's and after a thorough assessment and explanation of the problem he was treated according to the McKenzie philosophy. This approach identifies movements which cause symptoms/pain to move towards the midline or lessen using a series of repeated movements. In John’s case his symptoms had totally resolved within two sessions using this approach.
"I was amazed with the almost instantaneous relief and clear explanation of my problem which put me at ease and allowed me to return to work within one week"A further 3 sessions were used to teach John correct lifting technique and to show him a series of preventative stretches and strengthening exercises he could use to prevent the problem from happening again.
"I was so pleased with the service I received at PhysioOne that I asked my Physio to come along to work and show the boys how to lift correctly and manage low back pain".
