Case study

I knew absolutely nothing about cranial osteopathy before I had a bad accident. Caused by a young man's failure to comply with basic health and safety regulations, the outcome was a gigantic bruise on my forehead and two huge knees - one of which I subsequently discovered was broken.

Remember eating boiled eggs with soldiers when you weren't feeling very well? Or sitting round the campfire eating toasted marshmallows that were burning hot and oozing down the stick? Or tucking into delicious barbequed food on a hot summers day?...We have all sorts of memories and their associated feelings attached to the things we eat.

Probably most of us can remember some happy times spent eating and drinking with family and friends.

When I stumbled down the organ-loft stairs and along the Church aisle to the communion rail, my knees swollen and my joints in agony, little did I realise how my life was going to change.
