Tutorials
I now offer one on one tutorials to final year Physiotherapy students and new graduates.
I and my peers have been increasingly perplexed at the number of clients (at least weekly!) who have been to a previous Physio with a straightforward problem, such as a stiff neck, and reported only receiving exercises for their treatment at consultation.
I have been a suburban hands-on physiotherapist for over 30 years. I endeavour to give simple clear explanation to my clients of what is going on (because it helps!) and resolve their issues swiftly via manual therapy. I am very disappointed not to resolve a client within two to three sessions of manual therapy (presuming no structural injuries).
Mechanical, joint based pain is responsible for most of the clients that will present to you in private practice. Manual therapy to resolve the mechanical deficit is the fastest and easiest way to resolve these clients. Of course, exercises have value but joints (people!) need to have normal range to not hurt. You can fix that movement restriction with straightforward techniques.
If you are frustrated at the lack of manual therapy training in your undergraduate physiotherapy course, consider a session with me. These sessions can be tailored to whatever you prefer. Hands-on practice, instruction, how to explain conditions, etc.
Cost: $88 including GST for a 30 minute session.
