Tips to avoid Back Pain the office” The article discusses how the average Brit is said to sit down for between 9 and 14 hours a day.

The Daily Mail has once again highlighted the importance of wearing the right footwear, this time focusing on high heels. The shoes in the firing line this time are the Celebrity and Fashion favourite- High Heels. It has been claimed that wearing heels for prolonged periods of time without a sufficient period of rest from them can actually effect the way you walk. It may seem obvious that high heels can damage your feet, but if you are sensible with how high/how much time you wear them you should not suffer any extreme negatives from wearing them.However, it is advisable to change style of shoe regularly for both Men and Women. So the moral of the story is: Change footwear often and change style of footwear throughout the working week to keep feet and backs healthy. search for the article titled “How wearing high heels regularly can ruin the way you walk – even after you take them off” on the daily mail...

One of our Therapists currently at the Centre has just qualified in the “Dorn Method” Carl S. Robinson (MFHT) has recently qualified in the therapy for common back and joint pain. The Dorn Method is believed to have originated in Germany almost 40 years ago, and is a gentle manual therapy which involves no cracking of joints. The therapy also teaches the patient simple exercises which will help you take care of your back in the future. The method consists of a range of different techniques and exercises designed to gently ease your vertebrae/joints back into their original positions without the need for painful manipulation or jerky movements. There are some cases where the method is not suitable such as inflammation,fever,post surgery of discs and recent accidents but with all therapies- it is advisable to seek the advice of your GP if you are unsure, but the Dorn Therapist should also have a consultation with you before you start any treatment. The back is an essential part of the body and when there are problems or issues, it can upset the natural balance of the body as a whole. The Dorn Method aims to restore balance in a gentle way. Mr Robinson believes he is the only Therapist within a 15 mile radius to be practising the Dorn Method from the Centre in Quarry Bank, West Midlands. Contact: Phone:...
