… thankyou please come again. Pretty much sums up the business of being an osteopath.
Yes I’ve visited an osteopath, my offended back didn’t fix itself. At least not all the way, so I decided something needed to be done!
Yesterday I had to take the afternoon off work and spend an hour being examined, cracked, and then rounded off with electric shocks… No it’s not as bad as it sounds, but it certainly felt pretty damn weird. Like a twitching. Apparently its better than a massage at reaching the deeper muscles and where the muscles attach to the bone.
To be honest I was quite disappointed to find I wasn’t getting a massage. In the same way that I was disappointed to find that the problem wasn’t magically fixed (Shazam! justlikethat). Apparently there were all kinds of mis-alighments going on and he needs to see me again next week to see if the ‘manipulations’ have held.
So that’ll be another £70…
Damn I hope I don’t need to many of these sessions, it could skint me. Especially seeing as I’ve just paided for a skiing holiday in March and have to pay my credit card off for the purchase of a nikon D70….
Quite frankly slightly worried.
ok, let me get this straight….so this guy who is into back snapping has told you that you need extensive back snapping in order for you to be perfectly chipper again….and it just so happens that he will be getting 70 pounds a pop just for hooking you up to a battery for half hour? and you dont even get a massage?!?!?!…..erm…..alarm bells not ringing?!?!?!…..and another thing Rob….you ‘paided’ for your holiday…..? :p
Don’t forget that I’ve also paided for my rent this month, so even if I was paided a bit more because of a crimbo bonus, its still looking dodgey.
Plus alarm bell not ringing as I do have a basic knowledge of anatomy and this guy seemed to know what he was talking about.
And there were lots of impressive looking certificates on his wall, not one of them a bronze swimming certificate.
*bottom lips starts to tremble* i’ve been told!
Well if you come round to mine I’ll hook you up on my dented bin… er, spine readjustment device 😉
