Lyndee Oscar MSc, BSc (Hons), D.O

Hi, I'm Lyndee, I am the founder of Kids Backs 4 The Future (KB4TF) I am a retired registered Osteopath with over 28 years experience within the private sector; I have also worked as an orthopedic and surgical Occupational Therapist within the NHS.

After witnessing a dramatic shift in treating younger patients over the last two decade I became dedicated to help reverse this negative trend occurring in our younger generation’s health and wellbeing. For everyone- Health is our first wealth. Our younger generation need to be fit for life from the start -This was the evolution of Kids Backs 4 The Future.

¼ of young people suffer from young regular/daily back pain (Backcare.org.uk 2015).

These alarming statistics highlighting the crisis in children’s spinal health and well being, continuously fuels our preventative mission and drive to reduce and prevent unnecessary injury and help our children develop good positive health behaviours.

We are committed to helping make healthy postures in young people second nature, not a reaction to pain.

Teaching and Training

Over the last two decades, I have enjoyed teaching and training within the remit of my Complementary Medicine Bodywork Masters- mainly to further education students but also at health and wellbeing conventions/exhibitions and workshops in Colchester and surrounding regions.

My role as a manual handling trainer extended within the corporate, education and health and social care sectors.

Currently, I deliver Backcare workshops for kids.

Over the last two decades

Over the last two decades, I have seen a sharp rise in the number of younger people seeking treatment for upper and lower back pain in my osteopathic practice; most have attributed their back problems to poor postures learned through bad childhood habits.

This has energised me into creating The B.A.S.I.C (Backcare Awareness Specialised Induction for Children) PROJECT- this is a fun, interactive Backcare workshop for children.
