hi physiobob...

Agreed - but those of us who are happy, trained and skilled at manipulating (Gr5) C/S can provide that - i always tell my patients the options and why what i am doing is a short term fix and that they will need to change their habits and motor patterns, recruitment of muscles, etc etc...

beckyw asked us to be brutally honest with what we thought in the OP...the above is why i think well trained physios have it over chiros...at the moment - it is not a glory statement nor a "lording it over someone" statement but a statement of the current status right now...

...if we physios become complacent, chiros will get skilled up and fill the breach.

Is it "us" and "them" - not really at the moment but if it ever comes down to federal funding etc, watch the feathers fly!
