Thank you very much for your reply. It really helps to know that there are fellow physios to help even though I work alone. I was asked to see this gentleman by a family friend because we live in a non english speaking country. Physio is rather different here and it is true that the physio he is having here with another physio takes a non neuro approach. I however have very limited SOL experience. I have done alot of reading and I understand the emphasis you have encouraged me to have on treatment. I hope I have the opportunity to treat him as genuinely physio will provide a very positive approach. I wish we had McMillan nurses here they provide an enormous amount of support that this family needs. The difficulty for me will be getting the information from the surgeon about diagnosis treatment and prognosis. I am the physio who has been referred the patient by the consultant. Instead I came in as a private physio to give an opinion and provide a pilates program which in the end is not absolutely what he needs.
Thanks for your reply.
