Following years of being fit and running many marathons, I suddenly found myself crippled with spondylolithesis. I could not stand for more than even a minute without experiencing agony, or walk short distances without the aid of a stick. I tried everything – Spire hospital course, physiotherapy, strong pain killers etc. but all with no effect; I ended up being strongly advised by a back surgeon to have a major operation. Shortly before this was scheduled to occur, I cancelled it on grounds of risk (I am still the family breadwinner and took the decision to live with the pain). I then heard about Nigel, met him, and the rest is history. Following an intensive course of specialist exercises, several months ago I – amazingly – found myself able to walk without a stick. I can now stand! And the pain has disappeared, a massive relief. I am currently regaining fitness at the gym and training for a 10k race! I follow Nigel’s exercise regime methodically, and with discipline. I am now very optimistic for my future and my quality of life has improved out of all recognition. When all else failed, Nigel came up trumps. I cannot recommend him too highly – he’s a magician!”
