Ditto - osteo's are wonderful. They work not just on your skeletal alignment but also on your muscles etc. It's worth checking one out! YOu may find it's not even your back - DH stuffed his back badly recently and it turned out he'd twisted his pelvis. He could barely move when he went to the osteo, and the osteo made such a difference.


yeah mine was a pelvis realignment issue .....chiro fixed that right up..:) its a personal preference sometimes i think?:)

Just another thought too.   I have also had lower back pain since both (J trying to do a back flip to get out didn't really help) plus I've just been generally achey all over.    I didn't fancy the expense of an osteo or chiro and being single Mum thought regular appointments could be tricky for me to find babysitters. So I've actually bought a biomag woolrest.   You can try for 60 days and send it back if you don't like it and they reckon you should notice a difference after using it for two weeks. Well I've been using it for one and suddenly noticed today that it didn't take quite as much effort to get up off the floor with J as it usually does (I too, look and feel like an old woman). Also my regular aches and pains feel a bit better. Early days yet but I'm hopeful that this will continue to provide a bit of relief (not to mention it's really snuggly for winter nights).

I've always wondered about those biomags and if they actually work.

I loved my chiro because he uses gentle techniques and my lower back was really badly out of place. Things like biomags wouldn't have fixed my prob unfortunately.

I always take Daniel to my appts though. He just sits in his pram watching my chiro the entire time.

Sister had novel solution for getting her baby in and out of a portacot (don't report me to cyfs)...

If you've got a portacot, and toms crawling, you could tip portacot over, he crawls into it, flip it upright again - wallah he's in/out of bed!

Sister had lower back problem from lifting her hefty little girl in and out of portacot (using back like a crane) so when her back finally went she experimented with 'tipping' her baby out (baby is 10 months). She got her back problem (turned out she had sprained her back and the muscles were swollen) fixed by using painkillers for the worst times and getting acupuncture for general pain relief.

PSML!!!!!! I just love it rackhell!!!!!! Tom would think that was hilarious! Unfortunately we dont have a portacot. I just get myself to the edge of his cot and lean on the edge to transfer the weight and then lean right out and put him in....its just a bugger when he wont settle and neeeds lots of patting etc.

Getting him up is easier as he will stand for me.
