Ok,

thanks for replying.

First of all, sometimes you don't need to know exactly what is wrong. Having said that, I too would be unhappy if i didn't get clearly told what was wrong.

Secondly, your physio has performed a fairly standard examination. However, i personally feel it was either 1. an incomplete description of what he did or 2. inadequate - i can't tell because i am not sure what actually went on.

Thirdly, I am glad to hear you are doing the exercises - are they helping your pain?

Next, it doesn't sound like you completely trust this physio. I would give him another go to explain again what is wrong. Ask him if he understands how the Wikipedia reference-linkSIJ works. Does he know the work of Peter O'Sullivan or Paul Hodges or Diane Lee or LJ Lee in motor control retraining?

Again, as i wrote earlier, if it were me, I would pay money to see the best. I will try to find out the name of a physio in the UK who you can see who might know some of this stuff.

Lastly, I would not personally recommend you see a chiropractor. I think in your particular condition you have a movement control problem. The solution usually lies in retraining how your body moves. It is not simple and most physios have not studied this stuff at university, esp outside of australia or canada. I don't think you have something where it needs to be "cracked" back into place like a chiro would do. Physiotherapists are supposed to be the experts at muscles and your problem sounds like a muscle control problem.

I understand your desperation. I will get back to you soon...
