Diane Moore from Bedale, was an animal health advisor working for a feed company. This is her story.
'I was struggling with pain, it was shooting down my leg and I had severe restrictions in my lower back, it was incredibly stiff. It was stopping me from doing absolutely everything.
'I couldn't sit in a car, I couldn't stand up for any length of time without any pain, I was walking with a limp.
'And despite taking painkillers it was just a horrible pain which made me so tired, everything I did was hard work. I didn't go a day without feeling miserable about it. It was dreadful and I just didn't know what was happening to me.
'I saw a physiotherapist a few times who sent me for a MRI scan of my back. The result was that I had a damaged disc which was trapping a nerve -the cause of all my pain. The physiotherapist told me that I needed more help and recommended I see Vanessa at Cathedral Osteopaths as she knew she offered IDD Therapy and that Vanessa had helped another one of her clients with a prolapsed disc.
'I went to see Vanessa who assessed me and looked at my MRI, and said I was a suitable candidate for IDD Therapy, so I began it straight away.
'It is a year since I started my IDD Therapy and I have felt much, much better. It has really helped me a lot. My life has returned to normal. I can look after my sheep, and I started running again a few months ago. I now know how to take care of my back and I made some needed lifestyle changes which will hopefully prevent any future injury. The next goal for me is to get on the back on my husband's motorbike, but I have to wait for his broken ankle to heal first!'
'I would recommend IDD Therapy to anyone struggling with the same symptoms I had.'
