This half term we went back to London to see Gary, the wonderful Osteopath we know.  It was once again a really positive experience.  Gary is remarkable in how he is able to change the position of Chris’s spine within a 45 minute session – he always looks straighter when we leave than when we arrive!  If only it lasted…but it does demonstrate to me that his spine is still flexible and we must keep working against the curve.

This time Gary focused on the area in the centre of Chris’s spine where his ‘C’ shape curve is most pronounced.  He suggested changing the exercise routine we have been following and just concentrating on three core strength exercises to try and improve the rotation and curve.

The exercises are physically tough but fortunately they are quick to do and for this reason Chris is keen to do them instead of the all the Schroth exercises we have been doing.  I think it would be good for him to have a change so we are going to go with Garry’s exercises for 2-3 months and then go back and see him again.

As ever I’ll let you know how it all works out!
