The CrookBack Clinic is one
of the most popular seminar programs I conduct for
corporate organisations. That's because at least 30% of
people have some sort of musculo-skeletal dysfunction.
Whilst some
people are grinning and bearing, and don't let on about the
discomfort, it knocks the shine off
their day and their work.
Others are just waiting for a
straw to lob on their back (at work) so they've got an
excuse to slap a claim form on your desk.
Most of these people don't have an injury,
they have a personally induced dysfunction.

So that's what I do for groups.
HERE'S WHAT I AM NOW DOING
FOR INDIVIDUALS
I've just started running one-on-one
CrookBack Clinics
aimed at helping people to work out the cause of their
dysfunction. It's not difficult when you look at these
diagrams.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Posture
stooped due to tight calf, hamstring and buttock
muscles |
Classic
sitting posture |
Tight
buttocks, can't sit up straight |
Tight
hamstrings, can't sit up straight |
Painfully
tight buttock muscles. |
On top of that is a complete lack of
strength. The number of people who can't do a sit up or a
pressup is legion.
THE SYMPTOM
Musculo-skeletal pain is a symptom that the
body is out of alignment. I'll repeat that, a crook back,
neck or shoulder is a symptom;
a symptom that bones are out
of alignment, a
symptom that muscles somewhere are weak,
a symptom
that muscles somewhere are too tight. That's why the crunch, rub down and ray lamp at the point
where it's sore are inadequate treatments and destined not
to provide a lasting solution to the real problem.
Misalignment
Actually, as an ecosystem the body tolerates
quite a degree of misalignment before there is any pain at
all, and ironically, most people put up with a lot of pain
before they'll do
something about it. Usually they want someone to do
something to them to fix them up. That's a nonsense; you
have to do something to yourself.
If you're stronger than the average bear your
musculature will support misalignment for longer than if
you're weak. Hence the injunction to keep your body strong
and to have a regular and systematic strength training
program. Very few people got stronger sitting in a chair in
a surgery, and fewer people had their strength measured in
the surgery either.
The good news
The good news is that fixing the problem is
neither rocket not medical science either.
Just spend a bit of time each day doing the right exercises
and in 6 - 8 weeks you should be feeling much better.
Of course it doesn't work in all cases, but
there's an 80% chance for 80% of people that they can get
themselves back to 80% of good nick if they're diligent.
GET A SECOND OPINION
What I do applies as much to organisations as
individuals.
The next time someone slaps a claim form on
your desk, with a supporting letter from a doctor stating
that 'work' was the cause of the problem, send them to me.
I'll give you a second opinion.
(If your organisation is not located in
Canberra give me a hoy and I'll let you know when next I'm
in your area.)
Here's what
I'll do.
|
1. |
I'll talk to your staff member
about the likely cause(s) of their dysfunction. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
I'll measure their risk of
musculo-skeletal dysfunction. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
I'll take them through a
diagnostic process. |
|
|
|
|
4. |
I'll teach them some of the key
the exercises they need to do to get themselves
back in alignment.
The therapy is based on two
simple principles.
|
a. |
Muscles pull bones out of alignment. That’s the bad
news. The good news is that you can train your
muscles to pull bones back into alignment. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
The cause of the pain is rarely at the site of the
pain. The rub down, crunch and ray lamp at the spot
where it hurts is unlikely to provide you with
lasting relief. |
|
|
5. |
They'll receive a workbook with
the exercises in it. |
|
|
|
|
6. |
I'll prepare an audit report
which I'll send to you. |
|
|
|
|
Your staff member will come away
with
|
|
• |
a good idea of what's caused
their dysfunction |
|
|
|
|
• |
a training program to do at home
each night. If they're diligent and persistent, they should
be feeling much better in 6 - 8 weeks. However,
they must be diligent and persistent otherwise
it's all just more time and money poured down
the black hole. |
You'll come
away with a report that you can send off to your insurer
and which may or may not be a variance with those
reports they've already got. In the long run it could
save you a fortune.
The Bush Doctrine
Based on the
Bush Doctrine, you could make a pre-emptory strike. I'll
show you the exercises you need to do to save yourself
from becoming dysfunctional in the first place.
(If
you're not located in
Canberra give me a hoy and I'll let you know when next I'm
in your area.)
CROOKBACK CLINIC PRINCIPLES
The program is
based on two key principles:
|
1. |
It's a big ask expecting to get
better by having someone do something to you;
sooner or later you have to do something to
yourself. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Therapy speeds up the rehab
process but doesn't take the place of that which
you need to do for yourself. |
The fee is $220
for the one hour session and audit report.
SPEED UP THE REHAB
PROCESS
I'll also introduce your staff member to
Estuarado Pazmino. I recommend a couple of massage
sessions with him, to speed up the rehab process. He
knows where to go looking for the cause of the problem
and his work and mine are complementary.

CrookBack Clinic
In the mean time stay tuned, highly tuned,
and remember, very few people every got
their back fixed up in a surgery. In fact very few people got the cause
of their dysfunction diagnosed in a surgery or a radiologists rooms
either. (They got the dysfunction diagnosed - you've got a crook back!! -
but not the cause of the dysfunction. And if you can't diagnose the
cause of the problem how can you prescribe the right treatment?
