"There is no substitute for one-to-one advice from aÌýtop medical expert and that's what we offer our callers and emailers. But for each person who calls to ask for help, someone else phones in to pass on a tip or a suggestion -Ìýit's a great programme to present."

Posture
Many of us suffer with back pain at some time in our lives.
Sitting in front of a computer all day, driving for long periods, carrying heavy bagsÌýand slouching on the sofa can all contribute to bad posture.
Our posture often has a part to play in the state of our backs, and other parts of the body.
But what is the best way to improve our posture? Are our parents and teachers correct to tell us to stand up straight? What exercises can help?
IfÌýyou suffer from back, neck or leg pain or sciatica,Ìýwhat is the best way to alleviate the pain?
On this week's edition of Check Up, Barbara Myers will be putting your questions about postureÌýto Dr Peter Skew, a GP who specialises in treating back pain.
Please contact the programme with your questions or comments on 08700-100-444 on the day of broadcast or e-mail using the Contact Check Up link.
