The Osteopath

Since I used to be a professional dancer and choreographer, my bones have been moved in peculiar ways for years.
As I currently carry double my normal body weight (approx 114 Kg/251.32 pounds), my spine is under constant strain and took the shape of an exaggerated "S" .
Also the neck became extremely tense provoking increasing migraines.
Having recently decided to take my whole health into my hands and take responsibility for my own healing, I asked to be referred to an osteopath.
I went to see him (Doctor A. O. aka "Magic Hands")at the S. Charles Hospital in West London last Friday, the 28 of November.
He is the best Doctor I have met in decades. Competent, friendly, empathic and helpful.
He managed to crick my neck a little and readjust some bones on the lower back.
He also gave me some stretching exercises to do daily using the door frame for resistance to help my shoulders open wider.
As I ...how can I put it...I, I have always been the proud owner of a toned big bust, which has recently expanded taking control of my entire life.
Yes because it is not only causing shoulder grooves, back pain, neck pain and headaches, but also a big scandal in the swimming pull!!!
I spent more than one aquaerobic class, trying to keep them under control...
As the classes became increasingly popular with some of the male who enjoy the view from the comfort of the jacuzzi, I became less popular with some of the girls who kept pointing in my direction imploringly...
