Solihull Birmingham Osteopath backs Amy Winehouse

It appears you cannot read a newspaper or listen to radio these days without hearing negative things about Amy Winehouse. There seems to be the overwhelming agreement that this pint sized lady with a powerful voice has immense talent, but many feel she is wasting her life and endangering her health with the so called "rock and roll" lifestyle.

I would like to put a little perspective on the life and behaviour of this talented lady.

I met Amy at the Birmingham Clothes Show in 2006 where she was performing for the Birmingham show. This was before Amy topped the charts and she sang "rehab" as her choice of song. I was supporting the Birmingham Clothes Show team of dancers and models and also any "celeb" guests who required my services.

I am a Birmingham Osteopath based in Solihull West Midlands and provide Sports Massage as well as first aid and injury cover for the 6 days of the show.

Amy made use of my services on more than one occasion and I have to say I found this young woman friendly, polite and utterly charming. This is hardly a description that you would currently use to describe Amy Winehouse. Amy always thanked me and on her day of departure made an effort to seek me out in the staff canteen in order to show her appreciation before she left.

I treat many clients with "celebrity" status and Amy was delightful to work with. Stories in the media do not reflect the true nature of this young woman and I want to provide some kind of balance to the negative media and publicity she attracts.

Sure she may have problems but I can only "speak as I find" and my memories of Amy are positive ones.

Amy, I sincerely hope that whatever issues in your life that cause you grief are resolved and that if what we hear in the media is true, that you get all the help you need from people who love and care about you, in order to bring you back to the decent young woman that you truly are.

Kind regards John Williams
