I'd still start with a phsysiotherapist before resorting to a woo merchant, personally
but I agree, if it works then it works. It just happens to be a major bugbear of mine that use of greek words and some level of regulation somehow conveys medical respectability in some of these areas

I only went to this guy
because he was recommended by a friend, I wouldn't just pick a one out of the phone book.

Oh, for sure.
I mean, these people are basically extended massage therapists but if the stuff they did didn't work they wouldn't get repeat business. It's people that rely on them that worry me as they've got no medical background so are likely to miss something medically dangerous while they are busy aligning your chakras or whatever

physiotherapists are good.
I've finally had someone tell me what was wrong with my hip and I can now do something about it thanks to my physio. She gave me exercises to do which've really helped.
