Towards
the
end
of
the
road
cycliing
season
I
developed
a
very
painful
back
pain.
I
visited
massage
therpists,
chiropractors
and
other
physiotherapists.
They
suspected
that
it
was
a
sacroiliac
joint
problem.
I
tried
laser
treatment,
accupuncture
and
a
set
of
exercises
prescribed
by
the
physiotherapist.
This
persisted
for
about
6
weeks
with
hardly
any
pain
relief.
Subsequently
the
back
pain
morphed
into
full
blown
excrutiating
painful
sciatica
all
the
way
down
from
my
glute
to
my
foot.
I
continued
treatment
wiith
these
practioners
for
about
4
weeks
but
wiithout
much
success.
Through
a
friend
I
stumbled
across
Allen
Eshmoili
at
Premier
Spine.
The
first
consult
was
a
very
thorough
clinical
assessment
and
early
diagnosis
(despite
not
having
an
MRI).
The
first
few
sets
of
exercises
that
Allen
prescribed
helped
alleviate
some
of
the
pain
or
at
least
gave
me
a
way
to
try
manage
the
pain
when
it
flared
up.
At
this
stage
I
could
hardly
walk
10
steps
without
severe
pain
in
my
legs.
Allen
suggested
a
12
week
program
with
14
sessions
-
I
was
sceptical
at
first
but
then
jumped
in
with
both
feet.
What
did
I
have
to
lose?
Each
session
was
intense
and
sometimes
painful
but
after
4
weeks
I
started
to
notice
a
slight
improvement.
I
diligently
did
the
prescribed
exercises
daily
and
slight
improvements
from
one
week
to
the
next
motivated
me
to
the
finish
line.
I
was
not
able
to
ride
my
bike
for
almost
4
months
and
put
on
a
lot
of
weight
-
COVID
working
and
eating
and
no
real
aerobic/anaerobic
exercise.
I'm
now
back
on
the
bike
4
times
a
week,
doing
strength
and
core
exercises
6x
a
week
and
working
my
way
back
to
a
healthy
state
of
fitness
and
nutrition.
Allen's
friendly
smile
and
disposition
was
always
very
welcoming
every
session.
I
trusted
him
implicitly
and
believed
in
the
process.
If
you're
sceptical
about
physiotherapy,
take
a
chance
and
set
up
a
time
to
meet
with
Allen.
I'm
positiive
that
you'll
be
suitably
impressed
and
that
he'll
help
guide
you
on
your
wellness
jouney.
