Hi all,
I’m looking for a good physio in Brisbane, Australia.
I have seen 4 or 5 in the past and I am yet to find a good one!
They are very hard to come by - any reccomendations??
I always had great luck with therapists in Aus. Often they were Osteopaths.
Thanks Charlie.
Mind filling me in - whats an osteopath?
I have found a brilliant massage therapist, but every physio I have seen gives me a generic diagnoses and tells me to RICE. Irratating!
Peter Stanton is pretty good. Although I am unsure if he has a private practice as he is the Brisbane Lions head of medical.
Has an ability to get people up when he shouldn’t. His wife is a prime example.
I have never been to oesopath, but I have had great fortune of having a very good chiropractor and my back and knee held together for 2 seasons longer than I expected.
Unfortunately it maybe a trial and error approach to finding a good one.
Cheers DMA - I will look into it.
I remember last season, some of the Lions physio’s made some v. stupid claims.
Basically, “We haven’t had any major injuries and we know something that noone else does”; ironically the Lions have had 4 or 5 major injuries this season!
Trial and error approach has become v. expensive and v. frustrating!
My problem with most physio’s is their obsession with symptom related treatments. I want to find someone who can explain why things are happening - not just tell me to rest!
Yes they where v. stupid claims.
Just spoke to a girl I use to coach who goes to oestopath regularly - she swears by them.

Good luck with finding a physio worthwhile.
Like a Chiro but does soft tissue work before any manipulations.
