Retired mathematician Volker Rehbocks, a father-of-two, had been living with chronic back pain for at least 18 months. His GP told him that his gardening days were over, to avoid bending and lifting, gave him anti-inflammatories and advised him to rest his back. The constant pain and impact on his daily life left him feeling anxious and depressed. Mr Rehbocks turned to the new treatment for help - and the difference has been life-changing. It only took about six to eight months to get his life back – he was quickly sitting comfortably, tying his shoelaces, bending, gardening, cleaning, working around the house and on his car, even lifting a cylinder head out of a car engine bay. Today, his mode of transport is rarely his car, opting to ride his bike large distances at a time with no pain. “My pain has effectively gone,” he said.
