DIRTY 30 TIME!

Alright, listen up, mates! I’ve made the executive decision to throw a chilled-out bash for my Dirty 30. I know, I know, it’s a bit last minute – I’ve been busier than a cat at a dog show this year!

Join me for a Bottomless Boozy Brunch and Bingo session that kicks off at 3pm sharp, so waddle in by 2:50 to snag a good spot. We’ll indulge for a solid 2 hours, then keep the good times rollin’ with happy hour and a DJ to keep us on our toes.

Come for the giggles, stay for the shenanigans, and let’s show old age who's boss! Can’t wait to see your lovely faces!

Professional Report on Patient Progress

Patient Name: Con Kaftanias
Date of Report: 25/02/2025
Number of Treatments: 8
Conditions Addressed: Acute lumbar back pain, numbness in lateral leg, severe pain in the ball and top of the foot associated with L5/S1 disc issue and sciatica impingement.

Treatment Overview

Con initially presented with acute and severe lumbar back pain, which was so debilitating that he could hardly stand or walk during his first treatment session. The severity of the condition was exacerbated by muscular tension, resulting in significant pain and sensory overload.

Treatment Focus:

  1. Massage Therapy – Attention to affected muscle groups (multifidus, quadratus lumborum, glutes, erector spinae).

  2. Dry Needling – Specifically targeted to small stabilising muscles, which proved effective in reducing pain.

  3. Education – Focus on posture and movement patterns, emphasising the importance of bending at the knees and restricted lifting.

Progress Evaluation

Treatment 1

  • Pain Level: Agonising (unable to stand)

  • Interventions: Massage aggravated symptoms.

By Treatment 4

  • Pain Level: Reduced to 5/10, with foot pain nearly resolved.

  • Mobility: Able to stand straight, indicative of decreased pain and improved function.

The combination of treatment modalities has led to considerable improvement. Continuous sessions have successfully managed the condition, allowing Con to avoid the potential need for surgery.

Current Status

  • Back Pain: Minimal

  • Leg and Foot: 95% improvement

Future Plan

  • Continue sessions every 2-3 weeks for another couple of months to ensure ongoing recovery and prevent regression.

  • Maintain a regimen of ice application, anti-inflammatories, structured stretching, and monitored movement.

Con's ability to manage daily activities and work duties has significantly increased, which is a testament to his progress. He has been advised to remain cautious to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
