Thank you Dr. Damien,

I completely understand that certain techniques are not very useful during certain situations, however, this client has been with us for a long time and has been complaining of no improvement. He's been with this clinic for longer than I've worked there!

I guess I should explain a bit further, we have a lot of physio clients who require traction (people with sciatic or cervical spine problems), but the traction or whatever manual therapy that is required, is not being provided because the physio blatantly tells me that she is lazy. I have tried many times to ask her to teach me techniques, but she says that physio is only about giving people IFC/TENS/Ultrasound and nothing else. So as a last resort, I found this forum just so I could ask for help and as to how exactly to perform certain techniques.

The client with the shoulder joint replacement however, is not satisfied at all with the treatment that he is being given. I've given him more exercises but I have seen 0% improvement. As a side note, even the other clients who have other problems, are complaining about the physio and haven't seen any improvement. Which is the reason why I'm coming here to see what other physiotherapists are doing. =(

Sorry! Just really desperate to get these clients back into shape, or at least see some improvement!
