MBST is a fantastic pionneeering treatment that has benefited many of our patients. Patients with disc problems, arthritis, bone breaks, persistent back and joint pain and sporting injuries.
In recent months, Phil, our Clinical Director and Lead Clinician made the decision to use MBST when we found ourselves needing it for his 12 year old sports mad son, Finlay.
Like many 12 year olds, Finlay loves sport and is lost without being able to run around and throw himself into physical activity. Weekly football training, matches and playground kickabouts are the highlights of his week.
However, during one training session he fell awkwardly, badly bruising the bone and straining tendons and had to be carried off thepitch in agony. This time he did not run it off as with previous falls and scrapes.
Finlay is not one to make unnecessary fuss and would certainly never miss a football match without good reason but he was in a bad way.
After some examination, testing and consultation, Phil decided his own son should have a course of MBST to speed up the healing process. With it being near the start of the football season, Finlay stood to miss out on months of missing matches and uncertainty as he stood on the sidelines watching friends and team mates take his place on the football pitch. Knowing of a possible alternative, it felt worth a try to avoid Finlay missing out on all of those fantastic experiences and memories of youth football.
A full assessment was done and Finlay underwent nine sessions over nine days. Evenduring the process he began to feel rapid improvement. Tentatively joiningtraining sessions after just a week but finding he was able to do much morethan the experienced coaches expectedgiven the gravitas of the injury.
Ultimately Finlay only missed three weeks of football, withan injury like the one he had, he could have missed months and gone back withuncertainty and caution. Since having MBST he has been back playing six times aweek without missing a match due to injury.
In fact, he missed so little the coaches still saw fit to reward him ‘Most Improved Player’ of the season as he threw himself into every opportunity to play as much football as possible to make up for missed matches.
