I have a bachelors in Physiotherapy and a doctorate in Osteopathy. I also do high velocity techniques when needed. I do acute care using Osteopathy and a bit of exercise. When the condition is more stable, I transition from manual therapy to active exercise. All profession has their own bad eggs. It's up to the patient to find someone who can treat their condition the best. Truth be told, you can be doing the best well researched treatment plan for a condition but it still won't work for a specific patient. Instead of stating the negative of a profession, educate the patients on what you do and how you do it.

[@noamto]

What kind of doctorate research thesis did you write?

[@jamessenn7270]

Do you know how long it takes to recover from pinched nerve

[@DesireeLeighThompson]

Absolutely agree with you Jam. We must unite. Each profession has benefits but a video like this doesn't make me want to see this guy.

[@lukebayshaw1958]

You sound exactly like the treatment given to me by my osteopath and it has done an amazing job

[@BpGregor]

Very difficult for me to understand with the loud background music. I know the information you are giving is very important. I watch KZbin on a smart TV. I don't know if that is the cause. Thank you for your video.

[@siqueiraosteopatia2982]

its easy to a physiotherapist to say that the phyio treatment is better and more complete . i am osteopath and 60% of my patients are from the phyio due to bad treatment and results

[@flavio6325]

Physiotherapy is very broad. This makes the professional need more study time than Osteo and Quiro. However, Evidence-Based Physiotherapy is growing and solving this flaw you mentioned. It's only a matter of time.

[@rio20d]

the best way is to go to clinic that has Physiotherapist and Chiro. No offense but this is quite one sided non objective review that seems to discredit Chiro and Osteopath, am not surprise that the poster is a Physiotherapist. I have been to Physio, Chiro and Osteo, all have their place in helping people with backpain and many muscoskeletal problems.

[@Carlospenamusic1]

I'm at the Hospital for a herniated disc, my neurosurgeon is going to do physical therapy, I haven't heard of a chiropractor coming here as well to do something, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that hospitals and other health professional trust physical therapy over chiropractic.

[@Faithandseekerofchrist]

It's a good thing that they do because going to a chiropractor actually made me worse! I mean a physical therapist may be painful but at least they actually educate you and help you on how to better improve your posture and exercises and work with your muscles. I'm going to see if my doctor recommends a physical therapist but I'm definitely getting an MRI next month.

The music makes puts your voice in the background 😊😢

[@Freedom4PalestineEndZioNazism]

Thanks mate. Really useful info. If you don't mind, maybe turn the distracting music a bit down?

[@biaedwards4025]

Music is drowning out your content...

[@joshboston2323]

a physio wearing a tie....kind hard to work in I would say. I just wear the most comfortable sports clothes when I'm working.

[@babitadevi5920]

Hi, i am from India

[@Hijabi-Ex-muslim]

I'm also u from

[@robertkukuczka9469]

You are correct.

[@benohara284]

You obviously don't know a lot about osteopathy, adjustments are ok if physiotherapists use them but "catastrophic " if chiropractors use them, that's what it sounds like this guy's saying, makes no sense

[@tsaikhomba00]

Can u make a video on salary for physiotherapists

[@footyball66]

In my experience chiropractors are useless. The one I went to told me they could fix me in 12 weeks. Adjustments did nothing to improve my injury. After 5 treatments of adjustments I was told to do 3 stretches for just 1 week and all my back issues would disappear.....I did those stretches for 3 weeks and had zero improvement, then stopped going to the chiropractor. One other thing.... they adjusted my neck in order to fix my back..... there was no reason to do so..... my neck was perfectly fine, but to cut a long story short, they adjusted me without allowing me to relax.

[@Faithandseekerofchrist]

The same thing happened to me when I got a neck injury and I was laying on the table but I wasn't fully relaxed and then she used the activator on both sides of my neck and I felt a huge shock and then I felt really light-headed and dizzy. Later on, I went 24 hours without sleep and then I had extreme heart palpitations and was screaming in agony because my pain intensified on my neck and head. My ribs are also very sore because she worked on them as well and now they hurt way worse and the last time I went was a week ago! She wanted me to go three to four times a week and even when I did pay the co-pays it was still very expensive and she knew that I was on medical leave! NEVER AGAIN! I guess the reason why I went was because my doctors weren't available because of the holidays and they are usually booked during the holidays. But the point is is that when it comes to your health, you can't take shortcuts. But even Physical Therapy would be a better option but I wouldn't feel comfortable going until I have my primary doctors recommendation and on top of that I'm getting a MRI.

[@gz2128]

very informative

[@ADHDMoneyandBusiness]

This is well explained. Thanks.

[@jagathnathka3338]

For back pain especially mechanical backpain makanze aproch giving better results,nower days cyriax thoughts of school also absorbed those techniques. However REMODELING... muscle CONDITIONING.. HEALING..

[@stephaniec2546]

Thank u so much, I have been to chiropractor and I feel I am being tricked into paying a large fee for what adds up to 3 hours over the course of 2 months.. I'm thinking I might try physio instead, as iv not been given any home exercises to do either?

[@hadinataroslan]

try osteopath.. they are more diverse

[@XowntXihqX]

at the end of the day, what matters is the therapist's skills and how knowledgeable he is at treating your problem. in my experience you need to integrate exercise for long term change, but manual therapy is also effective for various reasons. I've had the best help from an osteopath who has a masters in sports science.

[@onlinevoice195]

The reverse is true for me. Physiotherapist simply asked me to do my own exercises for my acute back pain, which means I don't need a therapist. Whereas the chiropractor treated my acute back pain in less than 7 sessions.

[@DrPriiime]

@@hadinataroslan you’re not a doctor

[@archacombatives]

The video states... who's best for lower back pain ? It depends, a qualification doesn't always determine how good that Practitioner is... Some people can have a good talk but doesn't reflect in their treatment Also all occupations at the core have different training.. They were taught different principles, different skillsets, and different treatment systems How they see the person, and the condition is different Yes they all can treat pain, but HOW they treat is another story... and how isn't just about techniques either This gentlemans description of Osteopathy is not accurate at all...

[@onlinevoice195]

Why are chiropractic and osteopath treatments not recognised in some developed countries?

[@cychee8779]

Because trial to protect traditional Orthopaedic Doctor

[@Supraboyes]

Because it's crap

[@Supraboyes]

It was invented by a scam artist con man

[@dragoninwinter]

Chiropractors: PTs sucks! Physical Therapists: Chiropractors suck! MDs: I'm better than both of you! DOs: But, but, I'm a real doctor too.

[@noamto]

DOs are real doctors? They write a doctorate?

[@TheRiddimselecta]

Biases much?
