They crack your bones…
Yup, decided it was finally worthwhile doing something about my neck/shoulder pain, and headed off to Paul Tansey, a chiropractor/physical therapist who comes highly recommended in cycling circles in Dublin.
After taking a bit of history, as to the cause of my trouble, he sat me down and had a bit of a prod at my neck before getting out some ‘thermal imaging’ device, and running it up and down my neck a bit. Upon looking at what appeared on the computer screen, it looked like most of my neck was out of alignment to either the left and right by a huge amount!
What followed was an amount of strange, and not entirely painless moves, where he dug his digits into various parts of my neck, and a bit of a back massage, and I was done for the day.
I have to be honest, and say I’m a little sceptical about the whole thing, but it does seem a little easier now, and I’ve another couple of sessions to go to before I’m back to normal, so watch this space.
