A very big thank you to City Therapy and Christian Platts for helping me enjoy my life a whole lot more.  After 17 years of constant back pain, it took just a few months of treatment from City Therapy to correct a long standing problem.  I went to see Christian initially just to try out an initial session, I felt more confident after that one session that my pain was solvable and I felt that perhaps I could achieve a very personal goal to host my sons Barmitzvah in 6 months time, without having to dose myself up with painkillers, sit down all the time and perhaps I though maybe I could even dance for longer than 10 minutes at a time. 

Well the reality was even better than I anticipated, I was on my feet all night, greeting guests, not having time to eat, dancing all night to a wonderful band from London with not one twinge of pain.  I was also able to wear stiletto heeled shoes.  The day after this wonderful party and without any sleep I flew with my family to Jersusalem, 2 flights and early next day set out on foot to cover the length and breadth of this beautiful city, all this excitement and absolutely no back pain.

 

10 months on, I can walk long distances, I have no fear of carrying shopping, I have confidence in my body and posture which in turn inspires a feeling of inner beauty. I have recently returned from Scotland, hiking around forests and lochs, our apartment was on the 3rd floor with no lift, we self-catered and by the end of the week I was physically exhausted, mentally stimulated and completely pain free..

 

I admit that City Therapy can’t correct every problem that arises in life, like the credit crunch or my husband’s recent redundancy, but just being pain free gives me the strength and energy to try and deal with whatever life throws in our direction.
