The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends therapies and services for low

back pain that are currently available from Osteopathy Plus.

In May 2009 NICE set out new guidelines and recommendations for people suffering with non-specific low back pain. These include the following...

• "Providing people with advice and information to help them manage their low back pain."

• "A structured exercise programme tailored to the individual that may include exercises to strengthen muscles, improve posture and stretching."

• "A course of manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, spinal mobilisation and massage. Treatment may be provided by a range of health care professionals including (chiropractors), osteopaths, manipulative physiotherapists or doctors who have had specialist training."

• "A course of (medical0 acupuncture needling, up to a maximum of 10 sessions over a period of up to 12 weeks."

• "Offer a combined intensive exercise and psychological treatment programme for people who have had at least one less intensive treatment already, but who still have disabling pain which causes significant distress or seriously impacts on daily life."

We are proud to announce that we have been ahead of these guideline for some time. All of the above have been available literally under one roof from Osteopathy Plus for several years.

New Central London Clinic Launched in May 2009.

Our new central London Clinic was launched in May 2009. Trading under the name "Spine Plus" this new clinic is in the heart of central London, immediately opposite Waterloo Station.

Current therapies and services available include osteopathy, medical acupuncture, remedial / sports massage and rehabilitative exercise advice. We intend to add more therapies in the near future, including physiotherapy and one to one postural exercise therapy (e.g. Pilates). Visit www.spineplus.co.uk to find out more.

Central New "Core & Stretch" classes launched May 2010                                                            (click here for more details)

These classes are highly suitable for people even if they have existing problems such as back pain. In addition to the core stability strengthening and stretching exercise we also teach other self treatment "acupressure / myofascial release" techniques to reduce tension and promote biomechanical balance throughout the body. The class is suitable for all ages and abilities from the relatively frail with chronic pain to elite athletes (for whom the class serves as a perfect complement to intense training).

Cost:  £10 per (1hr) class (payable at the end of each class, cash or cheque)

Location: Chigwell School Sports Hall, Thursdays 7.30pm - 8.30pm
