ventaA quick request for data points (or actual genuine knowledge, that would also work ;)
I've started getting physio for the duff knees (of which more later). I'm pretty sure that, when I was a kid and there was always someone in my class with a pot arm (usually for reasons of a falling-off-bike nature), no one was offered physio afterwards. A friend tells me that he did not get physio for a broken leg in the late 80s. A colleague who fractured both her arms a couple of years ago did.
So... is it that NHS treatment of injuries has moved on and decided that yes, physio is a bloomin' useful part of recovery? Or is it just that physio isn't offered to kids, on the grounds that they're bound to start running about as soon as physically possible?

Date: 2016-03-22 10:38 pm (UTC)I am broadly pro physio; I've always seen what I've thought to be pretty positive results myself. Obviously this isn't a great measure, because I don't know how things would have gone for me without physio.
For the last few years I've been voluntarily seeing a physio monthly (and paying for it myself) for ongoing maintenance of non-fixable conditions. I feel I get my moneysworth :)
