Spinal Decompression is BS - It’s traction, traction doesn’t work, exercise is the only thing you need, if you’re any good you can do everything with your hands, it’s expensive, it’s about making money, there’s no evidence, too many treatments  …

You might be right if this is what you think. But what if you're not? In this episode Osteopath Rob Shanks shares his experiences. 

How he had exactly the same thoughts but after ten years working with his hands, observed that with some disc patients outcomes were hit and miss. 

It's this frustration coupled with an inquisitive mind that led Rob into the murky world of … TRAAAACTTIONNNN

And from there an itch of curiosity led him to check out

Rob has got really quite good at working with spines and

In today’s episode Steve Small talks about MRIs.  Many practitioners feel they have a knowledge gap when it comes to reading MRIs.  And they think that this could preclude them from helping more patients with IDD Spinal Decompression.  Here Steve talks through the stages of learning, from day one to being able to read MRIs with your eyes closed. He also shares details of training and the benefits for your patients, you and your clinic as you expand your MRI knowledge.

Steve Small is joined by Paul Hobrough, ex-British athlete

Paul of Hobrough Healthcare has used “shockwave” for over ten years.  After hearing Paul teach about how to use shockwave with back pain, we wanted Paul on the show.

Here we explore the mechanisms and help clinicians understand when and how to use shockwave with back pain and potentially as part of IDD Therapy spinal decompression programmes.

In this episode Paul explains the differences between radial and focussed shockwave and when and how he uses it for back pain. 

We delve into evidence-based medicine and

The interview tees up another episode to look more into the practicals and commercial side of providing shockwave for back pain with or without spinal decompression.

Chris was having an online class with a cirque de soleil aerial acrobatics trainer and that led him to ... An impromptu interview with Osteopath Chris Ross from The Little Clinic in Aberdeen, Scotland. Chris joins Steve Small to share his story of overcoming his leg pain with IDD Therapy spinal decompression, how he introduced IDD at his own clinic and how some questions during aerial yoga and then aerial acrobatics training with a Cirque de Soleil trainer led him to experiment on himself with IDD in a prone position! Some fascinating insights from Chris!
