In this episode, Steve Small is joined by Rob Shanks.  Rob is co-founder and director of Spine Plus Clinics in Essex.  He's an Osteopath, been in practice for 20 years and was an early adopter of IDD Therapy spinal decompression in the UK.  He also co-founded Go2Imaging.com, the invaluable or rather essential training platform for practitioners to learn the essentials of MRI. Links below.  

Here Rob talks about his early use of traction, lessons from historical figures and his interest and passion for IDD Therapy for unresolved spinal patholgies.  With his passion for spine care, Rob, with his colleague Darren Chandler, has come to be a leader in MRI training for practitioners and sees it as an under-taught but essential skill for practitioners.  As Rob reveals, each year he sees three patients with serious spinal pathology, including cancer, which has not been detailed from an MRI report.  

He is also the author of a book suitable for both patients and practitioners - Back Pain Decoded

Physiotherapist Chike Chuka built his career in the UK and Germany.  A vision to give something back to his country and a dream to have a state of the art physiotherapy clinic in the town of his birth Enugu in Nigeria led Chike (chee-kay) to open Astella Physiotherapy Clinics.  And at the heart of his clinic is IDD Therapy spinal decompression.  Here Chike talks to Steve Small about his career, his journey to open his clinic and what IDD Therapy means to him and his patients.

Today’s interview is with rising star Osteopath Matthew Irving. I first knew Matthew when he contacted me to learn more about IDD Therapy spinal decompression.  From there he went to work with leading IDD Therapy provider Spine Plus, an Essex based group of multi-disciplinary clinics. During the first lockdown, Matthew wrote his own book and here he shares with us why he wrote a book and how to go about it using Amazon publishing.

Here is a link to Matthew’s book, a straight forward reference for patients and a good example of how writing a book needn’t be the challenge you might think it is.

James Sneddon was the UK's first IDD Therapy spinal decompression provider.  An Osteopath with a well established clinic in Glasgow, The Buckingham Clinic, James recognised that he was not able to help certain patients, notably those with disc problems and radiating pain.  Here he talks to Steve Small of IDD Therapy Disc Clinics about how he came onto IDD Therapy, who it can help, who it can't help and what IDD Therapy can do for a clinic.  James is an inspiration to any clinic owner and having bought two Accu SPINA's is well versed in the use of adjuncts to manual therapy to help get the best results for patients.

Jan 4 2022 – Steve Small is joined by Dr Jeff Garofalo of Midwest Disc Clinic to share experiences of spinal decompression, Jeff has five soon to be six Accu SPINA at his clinic and here he talks to the UK IDD Therapy spinal decompression network. Some great insights and a great training.
