Physio has potential to cover a massive scope it seems to me, but then we all gota start somewhere.Physio's tend to learn the trade on nhs, then go private IME.
That aside, I find it's purely luck of the draw how good the treatment is. Some are just better than others.
Thing is Physio tends to concentrate on soft tissue, hence ideal for TB () more advanced professionals realise the need for scelatle skills such chiropractic etc, and are then in a position to offer a very complete service. If you find one of these, depending on your needs, keep hold of them. In fact let me know, mine moved up north, I've yet to find anyone anywhere near as experienced.
They also tend to be female and usually quite attractive.although now I've said that he's bound to get some old boiler.
Depends on their training, some specialise in musculoskeletal, hence being useful after car accidents others take a neurological approach and look at rebuilding damaged pathways which he may need later on if not treated appropriately now.
Going private would be the logical choice as practitioners aren't limited by NHS constraints and do tend to tap into other professional thinking.
I trained under some fantastic physio's who were constantly frustrated at the NHS' lack of recognition of other practises and was constantly encouraged to investigate other ideas.
Incidently none of them were young pretty females.......except me!
I thought the nhs now recognise chiropractic? Which is far too fierce for me in all but 10% of my spine. But that 10% makes a massive difference when administered correctly, and theres no point going unless thats done. So my spine needs more than nhs can give anyway, afaict.
I think they do now but a lot of it depends on the open mindedness of your GP. Things have moved on in the 10 years I've been out of the physio game. I think things are heading towards a holistic approach rather than treating a localised area now.
And Guffer...our physio team motto for big wimps was no pain no gain! Men are big babies.
