I used to live with a girl who was a physio for a few years, she had one mate who was a hand therapist, cor blimey she was fit, (tales off into predictable 'other type of hand therapy' gag!)

Glad you are on the mend OP. A pal of mine had a similar off a couple of years ago, no other vehicle involved, completely unexplained cause, only he hit a wooden telegraph pole at the side of the road and is sadly with us no more. The incident was a complete mystery to us until the inquest, when it turned out that, although I didn't know he was a heavy drinker, he was twice the limit during the afternoon on a rare weekday off, foolishly got on his bike to go and see his girlfriend to sort out a row, and that was the end of that. frown

I'm sorry but Osteopathy only works by the placebo effect. You're pissing your money away paying for a magic back rub. It's quack medicine.

Stay in the real world, except there are no quick solutions and see a physiotherapist. If you feel you need to move things quicker, pay to see a specialist privately.
Would that be cranial osteopathy or structural? Or do you actually know what you are talking about?

Most people who adopt such a sweeping opinion are basing that judgement on limited knowledge or prejudice. Perhaps you would care to explain why physiotherapy would yield better results than structural osteopathy specifically?

My ex was an osteopath and achieved life changing results for some of her patients - mainly through structural treatment.

However I am inclined to concur that cranial osteopathy is questionable.

As with any medical professional there are varying levels of competence and you'll get varying results from different practitioners. To condemn all osteopaths outright is clearly silly.

Hang on a minute! Did you miss the fact that he said he was sorry before launcing into his ill informed rant? That's the equivalent of putting your hazards on before stopping in the yellow box outside a fire station...it makes everything you do or say beyond reproach!
