Thank you Canuck Physio, and thanks to Ilona for the encouragement. I am working on Pilates to strengthen the core, but I have trouble with all the peripheral parts of the body because of RA.
The Arthritis Society physios educate more than they treat since they are such a scarce resource. I saw another physio for shoulder troubles but he was focussed on the 1 problem and seemed anxious to succed and get me off the roster despite the fact that I am covered privately for physiotherapy. I am nervous about just picking a private physio because of my musculoskeletal issues.
What do you suggest?
I like the patient forum idea. I did not want to post before as the site is so physio oriented, but a lot of the posts have been helpful, especially the one giving the site for UK shoulder treatment guidelines.
