I do tend to agree with physiodace. you have a really long history and you likely would gain just as much if not more benefit with say a pilates program for your aforementioned problems (perhaps an orthotic would help with the supinated foot althought that might come right with correct pelvic function) as you would with hands on treatment. you are at a stage where you need to retrain your nervous system to work correctly. hopefully you can manage one supervised pilates session a week or fortnight with unsupervised sessions between, saving either you or your health fund a whole heap of cash!

keep us posted. if you are involved in a pilates program could you please send me some exercises you are doing as i am very interested in pilates for pelvic dysfunction. somewhat of a novice in the area

You have the right to agree with physiodace, but are wrong too. The pilates is not helping at all, in fact, it is doing more damage ( I've been through it many times! I tried yoga, pilates name it I have tried it). I am not at the point of retraining my nervous system to work properly yet, I am still in too much pain and I still need a lot of manual therapy.

Everyone I met prior to meeting my current physiotherapist advise me just the way you did and it just caused a lot more damage and pain. A LOT of pain and damage. Perhaps, it is question of perception or just understanding what manual therapy is as opposed to all other types of physiotherapy...

Anyway, at this point I do believe that some people just don't get it or will only get it no other way but theirs....and that's why it took so long to find a good pt to help me out of this. It just happens that I found the best PT in the province, that's why I am getting results. Results I was expecting from all the others I've seen before, but they just didn't have the experience needed and the knowledge needed to work with me. They got stuck in their way of seeing things instead of evaluating, observing, trying things and getting results.
