Osteopath or Physio recommendation Melbourne? 3-Dec-2014 At 8:43:23 AM phil_nev

Not going to argue with you that as I haven't done the research. What I can say is that in my experience with seeing loads of different types of practitioners (Myo's, physio, oesteo, Chinese medicine to name a few) is that I have found the Oesteo to be most beneficial.

In all my experiences with physios, none of them like to get their hands dirty. Typically 5-10 min treatment followed by 20-30mins of telling you what exercises to do. And $70-$100 for the privilege.

I have found with an Oesteo (at least the one I see, who has sports and rehab background), I get physical therapy/massage, joint manipulation, exercises guidance and advice to go with the exercises..

All that being said, treatment is really only a small part of sorting out an injury. You have to make the time to do your rehab exercises, core strengthening etc in your own time, otherwise treatments will be a waste of time regardless of who you see.
