Dear Administrator,

I would like to report this post as rude, offensive and a deliberate stance to attack the British School of Osteopathy (BSO). The author aims to humiliate the BSO and has an aggressive tone when referring directly to me. I was upset by this post, all I wanted to do was inform physiotherapists that there is an option to train as an osteopath if they wish to do so. This course open to anyone who holds either a physiotherapy/medical/chiropractic degree. It is an opportunity to have a dual practitioner-ship.

I hope you will look into my report.

Regards,

Shanaz

Dear Shanaz

While I can understand you taking some personal offense at Ginger's rather robust manner of his comments, this website is a forum for discussion for physiotherapists, not a place for posting free advertising for courses. I actually think you have really opened yourself for such criticism. Ginger is really simply exercising his right to comment and is providing skeptical criticism about a pseudoscientific practice (Craniosacral therapy) that you have admitted is part of the course you are touting, and for which you have not yet provided any defense.

I would also point out that in advertising your course your opening line is "retraining as an osteopath" and the first and only testimonial you provided is very negative about physiotherapy - the implication being that there is and inadequacy that needs to be corrected by changing professions - this may be your view which you are perfectly entitled to hold but it is hardly a diplomatic move on a physiotherapy discussion site and it therefore surprises me little that you get such reaction. And being a forum the dialogue at time can get rather strong worded

I see no point in taking any action on either side. However for future reference it would be better if you advertised the course in the Physiobob courses section: PhysioBob's Jobs - Physiotherapy Job & Course vacancies, Physio Recruitment & Courses for physiotherapists
