Title says it all. I've had a bad (lower) back for the last three weeks or so and no amount of stretching seems to be sorting it out, so I need to go and see someone.
If you've got a recommendation I'd be glad to hear them. Ideally based between Dulwich and Croydon.
Cheers!

[... ]I'd recommend going to the Crystal Palace Sports Injury clinic at the national stadium.

OK, booked mysefl in at CPSIC - I've been there before and its on my way to work so makes sense.
I reckon I've also worked out what the problem is - tight iliopsoas from sitting down too much.

I also found Back on Track in Catford very good. Ask for Romy.

Ive used Balance in Clapham before - with my knee problem, they diagnosed and helped cure the problem within about 4 sessions. Not cheap, but good! www.balancephysio.com/x |

Unless you specifically need physio, I think you get better value for money from a good sports massage. You get double the length of time for the same price, and they can take time to work slowly on a problem area. I've also got tight psoas (amongst other problems!), and what was a lot of deep pressure massage and stretching at sports massage was a single finger with the entire physio's weight at Dulwich Physio. Both released the tension, but the sports massage was better at teaching the muscles to stay relaxed.
I can recommend one in town if anyone wants.

My girlfriend does sports massage. She also teaches Pilates which I've found to be quite useful for preventing back problems in the first place. www.thewellbeingfactory.co.ukSorry for the plug, but it was in context so I assume it's appropriate. |

CPSC is the way to go. Ben has been treating me and another chap I ride with from Elitecycling for lower back pain. Religiously increasing core strength seems to be working for me (and the other chap). You may even want to have a chat with Paul Mill of Elitecycling who is an experienced (and successful) Elite cyclist, level 3 BC coach and authorised bike fitter - he runs a 'concession' at the centre - youll see the bike set up in the corner or the room. good luck

I went to a physio on the NHS a while ago for cycling related knee pain. She was fantastic and free!! - at the Dulwich Hospital. I suppose it's pot luck who you get - she was a cyclist and said it was nice to see someone who wasn't an old granny with a broken hip.
Worth a try
