Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and treat injuries from head to toe in all ages; however the most common injury I see in the clinic is lower back (lumbar spine) injuries. This includes lower backs that may have been injured through sport, gardening, and accidents. For example, road traffic collisions or accidents at work. Or perhaps old injuries that grumble away but are becoming increasingly more problematic. As a result they are limiting activity. Lower back pain is miserable. It affects how much we can physically do, our confidence in being active, and can even cause sleep disruption.

The Kibworth Coyotes helped light up the streets of Leicester by taking part in the Shine Night Walk in October to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

Prior to lockdown our meetings were held in Kilby School Hall. Following lockdown the Committee reluctantly agreed we must seek a new venue and conceded there was nowhere in Kilby. To get the members together again, we organised an afternoon tea party at the Fleckney Band Hall. We all sat out on a glorious August afternoon and had a wonderful time. We realised what a superb location it would be, so we are now holding our meetings there on the third Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm.
