I could tell you about how a visit to Bill the Osteo usually involves a bit of movement, a few painful pokes, some soothing stretches and maybe a crack or two, but I'd rather tell you about my favourite part of the visit.
The chat.
Bill the Osteo gives good chat. He's funny and clever and makes the whole process of dealing with a niggle in the neck or a (literal) pain in the bum a pleasant one. No one wants a medical practitioner that treats them like an idiot or keeps everything oh-so-serious, yet so many practitioners are like this!
Not Bill. Between all the sensible talk, there's lots of interesting conversation about the important things in life... like house prices or the latest wine bar down the road. This is a great strategy for keeping your mind off the fact that someone is digging their fingers in to your tender muscles!
Bill has helped me on a few occasions when I've had an ache or pain that I just can't work out. Rather than just treating me and sending me on my way, he gives me homework and clear instructions on things I can do at home to help improve my body alignment and stop the pain coming back.
