The BUILDING
BETTER BACKS & BODIES (B4) Programme is a comprehensive holistic programme designed
predominantly for back & neck pain sufferers and has been successfully
helping people since 1997. Devised by Adrienne Golembo a Remedial Masseuse & Movement
Therapist, who suffered with back problems for over 20 years,
she originally developed it to help reduce her own pain. Adrienne
recalls:
“As a chronic back pain sufferer
I found myself on a roller coaster of therapies ranging from
physiotherapy, surgery, osteopathy, chiropractics, acupuncture,
and many other alternative therapies. I was also living on
a cocktail of various different medications. I eventually
got fed up with this lifestyle and gradually started to work
out a regime which completely changed my life. Thus the Building
Better Backs&Bodies Programme was born.”
The B4 Programme was monitored,
edited and endorsed by Chartered Physiotherapist Hilda Walsh
as Lead Physiotherapist and Back Pain Specialist with the
City and Hackney Back Pain programme in London UK. Anne-Marie
Hesselkamp, Superintendent Physiotherapist at the Royal National
Orthopaedic Hospital Stanmore UK also approved the B4 Programme
for teaching at ASPIRE (Association for Spinal Injury Rehabilitation).
Adrienne Golembo also works as part of the multidisciplinary
team headed by Dr Geoffrey Leader MB ChB FRCA based at the
London Pain Relief and Nutritional Support Clinic based at Highgate Hospital in
London, specialising in the general management of the functional
health of Parkinson’s disease
patients. Her methods have been published
in the acclaimed book “Parkinson’s Disease - The Way Forward”. The B4
Programme is also suitable for people suffering from MS, obesity, coronary disease and as a method of preventing back pain occuring
