"IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO READ ABOUT OTHER PATIENTS' RETURN TO WELLNESS AND HOW SPINAL HEALTHCARE HAS IMPROVED THEIR LIVES "

 

 

WHILE WAITING FOR MY ADJUSTMENTS, IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO READ ABOUT OTHER PATIENTS' RETURN TO WELLNESS AND HOW SPINAL HEALTHCARE HAS IMPROVED THEIR LIVES, SO WHEN I WAS ASKED TO WRITE MY TESTIMONIAL AND TELL YOU ALL ABOUT HOW IT HAS IMPROVED MINE, I THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE IT IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT.

I THOUGHT I WOULD DARE TO BE DIFFERENT AND WRITE IN VERSE.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

COLIN

I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING

IT SEEMS YEARS AGO NOW WHEN I HAD MY FIRST TWINGE,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH 'I'M NOT ONE TO WHINGE'.

I WORKED IN SHOPS, DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO LIFT,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH, JUST WORKED AN EXTRA SHIFT.

MOVING ALL THOSE SPUDS, SACK AFTER SACK,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH 'IT'S ONLY MY BACK'.

HAD A BIKE ACCIDENT ON THE A249,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH 'IT'S ONLY MY SPINE'.

HAD MY FIRST CAR SHUNT, I WAS IN A BIT OF A HURRY,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH, IM NOT ONE TO WORRY.

'I'LL ALWAYS HAVE BACK TROUBLE' I HEARD MYSELF SAY,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH, 'ITS ALWAYS THE WAY'.

THE YEARS GO BY - I'M ALWAYS SO ILL,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH, JUST TOOK ANOTHER PILL.

 

I TOOK SO MANY PILLS MY STOMACH BECAME SORE,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH, I JUST TOOK SOME MORE.

GOT THAT PROMOTION, THE JOB BECAME STRESSED,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH 'I DIDN'T NEED THE REST'.

MY DIET WAS AWFUL - NEEDED FRUIT AND VEG EVERY DAY,

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH, JUST HAD ANOTHER TAKEAWAY.

THE PAIN GOT SO BAD I COULDN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT,

I WOULD WAKE IN THE MORNING AND NOTHING FELT RIGHT.

MY BACK WAS SO SORE, MY LEGS FELT COMPRESSED,

'I CAN'T REACH MY FEET, DAMN, I CAN'T EVEN GET DRESSED.

THERE HAS TO BE A CURE, THIS CAN'T GO ON,

I'M LIVING IN PAIN CAN SOMETHING BE DONE?'

 

MY GIRLFRIEND, MARION, COULD SEE I WAS SAD,

ONE DAY SHE SAID 'HEY, THIS DOESN'T LOOK BAD'.

SHE WAS READING AN ARTICLE ON SPINAL HEALTHCARE,

'IN CANTERBURY' SHE SAID 'WHY DON'T WE GO THERE?'

'YOU GET A FULL SPINAL HEALTH CHECK, THEY'LL SEE WHAT'S THE MATTER,

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING NOW, THEY'LL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.'

 

AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE, I WENT OFF TO BLEAN,

THERE I MET DOCTOR CHRISTIAN AND ALL THE BLEAN TEAM.

I HAD X RAYS CARRIED OUT, IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD,

AREAS OF SUBLUXATION, BEEN THERE SINCE CHILDHOOD.

'SUBLUXATION' I SAID 'WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?'

DOCTOR CHRISTIAN EXPLAINED THAT IT IS A FACT,

'INTERFERENCE OF THE FLOW OF ENERGY ALONG THE NERVES,

STOPS ORGANS FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND IT ALSO SERVES

AS A BARRIER TO WELLNESS AND A HEALTHY SPINE,

NEEDING REGULAR ADJUSTMENTS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.'

I DECIDED A COURSE WAS JUST UP MY STREET,

IT MIGHT ALSO MEAN I COULD REACH MY FEET.

 

SO AS THE WEEKS WENT BY, I STARTED TO TRY

TO TOUCH MY TOES, EACH TIME I ROSE.

I NOTICED I COULD, IT REALLY FELT GOOD

TO GET OUT OF THE SACK, WITHOUT PAIN IN MY BACK.

DRIVING WAS EASIER, I WASN'T IN PAIN,

SITTING AT MY DESK USED TO DRIVE ME INSANE

BUT NOT ANY MORE, I FEEL FINE, I FEEL BRILL,

NO LONGER DO I NEED TO TAKE THAT PILL.

 

THE WORKSHOPS ARE GREAT, LIKE 'POSTURE' AND 'ROCKET FUEL',

ONLY FRUIT BEFORE 12 IS THE GOLDEN RULE.

SO NOT ONLY IS IT NATURAL SPINAL HEALTHCARE,

IT'S ALSO ABOUT BEING MORE AWARE

OF HOW TO STAY HEALTHY AND LIVE PAIN FREE,

HOW TO CARE FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN BODY.

SO DON'T LEAVE IT TOO LATE, DO SOMETHING NOW

STOP TAKING THEM PILLS, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW.

VISIT THE IDEAL SPINE CENTRE IN BLEAN,

THEY'RE A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO WORK WELL AS A TEAM.

 

DOCTOR CHRISTIAN FARTHING HAS A GREAT PHILOSOPHY,

HELPING PATIENTS TOWARDS WELLNESS FOR A LIFE PAIN FREE.
