LOL, it's the bit around 19.30 where he enters porn territory. So to speak. ;)

My only consultation with a chiropracter was about thirty years ago, when I'd managed to collide two of the "wings" in my lower back, and all my back muscles had locked up solid. (Apparently they do that to protect the injured area. Bl00dy agonising, though.) :shock:

So, by the next morning, I was completely bent double as I hobbled into the room to meet the only chiropracter in town who could see me that day. Oh god, he was a six foot three overweight American who must have weighed twenty stone. And he was going to bounce up and down on my backbone. Which concerned me somewhat. Would he give me a discount if I left the surgery in several pieces? :|

Reader, I survived. (And 90% fixed within forty minutes!) He was excellent. But heck, I'm built on a neanderthal chassis, woolly mammoths hold no terrors for me. I reckon that slip of a girl wouldn't have got off lightly. Or indeed, got off at all?

Whereas I had the opposite experience - I once went to a new chiropractor who was a wee slip of a girl like the patient in the video who just bounced off me, she just didn't have the strength to do what needed to be done. Whereas I used to go to a 16st rugby player who was great, when he jumped on my spine it stayed jumped...

......Well, this Chiropractor anyway.

Saying that, I'd probably be struck off in the first week.

I had that done to my back earlier this year
Heads up to anyone over 50
There are thousands of over 50s who have the bottom few bones of their spine fused together
you will, like me, be blissfully unaware of that until you do something that "wakes it up"
I did, and then I couldn't walk for a month
One check by an osteopath would have revealed have prevented that
