When Jenny Strickland, a Chartered Physiotherapist since 1984, treated Bill Goldie’s teenage daughter and later his son for the painful condition called Osgood-Schlatter’s Bill was eternally grateful. So much so that 5 years later he has persuaded Jenny make available this amazing treatment to young sufferers regardless of their location by writing her ‘Home based Treatment Protocol’ in the form of a downloadable book.
Bill explains “When we went to Jenny about our daughters condition all our research told us it could not be treated, only the pain controlled by traditional methods such as R.I.C.E (rest, ice, compression and elevation). Jenny showed us her results and we gave it a try, 2 weeks later our daughter was pain free and she as back in sport 2 weeks after this. This was in spite of suffering for over 6 months “.
The treatment is actually carried out at home each day for just a few minutes by a parent or guardian and this gave Bill the idea of opening up the treatment via the wonder of the Internet.
Since Bill and Jenny launched the book using Proact Solutions Ltd as the vehicle Jenny has been able to treat 300% more children than she managed in 12 years of treating children in the Kent and South London area.
Jenny says “While it has been fantastic to see the results and happy kids being treated in my clinic, it was frustrating for me to see the same old advice being promoted everywhere, such as ‘you just have to put up with the pain and wait until you grow out of the condition’, knowing that this will take on average 2 years out of their sporting and active lives”.
Jenny goes on to state that “my protocol regime is so simple yet so effective. I have now presented 2 scientific papers giving statistical proof that it works, and now my job is to get the word out into the medical community, and research further the actual mechanisms underlying it”.
Jenny concludes “ if I need more inspiration after a long day at university I just need to re-read some of the wonderful and uplifting testimonials sent by amazed parents and grateful kids.”
