Episode 93 of the Chiro London podcast is a flashback to some archive audio I found from an interview on the BBC 5 Live late news show on a day where the news was all about the Queen having low back pain. She was unable to open the new Arsenal Emirates Stadium because her back wouldn't let her leave Buckingham Palace.
The BBC 5 Live team called up our clinic randomly. We didn't have any direct connection. It was just a bit of a cold call and they asked if I, Craig McLean, would be willing to do an interview with the late news show at 10:00 p.m. that night hosted by Anita Anand.
The first part of the interview went fairly smoothly and they just had a bit of banter and conversation around the Queen's back and back pain in general and how it has a big impact on the Uk works force with days off for back pain.
But then the interview took a turn halfway through where one of the panel members had a dodgy shoulder, neck, upper back problem. He'd been seeing a physio for months, was due to have an injection in the shoulder and so they just laid down a challenge to see what I could do for him when they were breaking for news, sport and weather.
So I was up for the challenge, I took the guy out to a little reception area bench. We did a little bit of Chiro work on him and you get to hear what happened in the second part of the interview when he made the statement, "I feel better in five minutes with you than I have with months on the physio bench."
This was nearly 20 years ago. I was 35 and what a laugh it was.
