Chiropractor - but only an Australian university trained one.
i enjoy acupuncture / dry needling (acupuncture without qi / chi philosophy stuff)
does it actually do anything useful - i have no idea
I’ve had physios do dry needling on me too and find it helpful for tight muscles and ‘knots’. If I go to a physiotherapist now I always make sure they do dry needling.
1) Spirits, 2) Beer, 3) Wine.
Not necessarily in that order.
You mean BWS
Oh OK. :)
Depends on what you want/need.
If you are just generally tight or sore, then you could get away with a manual-therapy focus with minimal diagnostics and rehabilitation measures. For that, I would recommend Myotherapy, with Bowen a distant second (would only recommend them on a significant discount vs all other options).
If you need diagnostics and want to “fix” a problem, then you’d need to see a practitioner and do so based on evidence standards. In which case, that would be Physio foremost, with Osteo and Chiro secondary there.
Physio and Bowen are polar opposites in terms of evidence and goals (a “fix” vs “ongoing care”). Physiotherapy has a high standard of evidence and is designed to get you better long term; Bowen is the opposite of both. Myo has greater standards than Bowen, but won’t be a “fix”, typically, as most of their training is on the manual skills and not as much as on diagnostics.
Chiro and Osteo fall in a middle-ground category whereby the old school thought is around re-treat capacity and utilising lower standards of evidence, but the more recent grads are getting taught more evidence based practise (funnily enough, they’re taught this by physios at some universities).Thats not to say that all Physios are better than all Chiros and all Osteos; just that you’re more likely to find a Physio who doesn’t want to see you long term than you are going to find a Chiro or Osteo that wants the same.

what do you think it does for you?
Reduces hip or shoulder pain by making the patient’s wallet/bag lighter?
i don't think you need to pay a 'practitioner' to do grounding
i thought you just walked around with no shoes on in the grass? - that's free
Late responding:
I feel that it relieves a level of anxiety and stress that I don't even usually know I have, until I do this.
For me, it is wet sand that provides the most benefits; that is probably coupled with being near water, in the elements, and usually with the sounds of water lapping or surf crashing.cool
i get the same effect from nature
i do try to be shoeless sometimes, maybe i should do it more often
I thought only electricians would do this?
I have to say though it's important to ensure you are correctly grounded, wouldn't call it remedial though.
Prevention.
Craig Thomson ‘‘red turbo spa room’’, if it works for the health minister must be good.
