The trouble with Physios is it requires you, the patient to actually follow instructions and do the exercise whereas all the homeopathic crystal healing poo poo like acupuncture, chiropractic medicine and reflexology is just hocus pocus bullshit with some massage thrown in and makes people feel good - instant gratification.

but whatever works ya know.

I feel you but it’s imo dishonest to lump acupuncture in with woo woo nonsense as it actually does have an effect. It’s not a merely psychological /fake treatment like reiki or crystal harmonics.

That said - everyone is right that it is not a replacement for proper Physio. It’s merely a thing to try as some people have had good results. I didn’t say it was perfect and it’s not like I came in saying it gave you two dicks. Just asked if buddy had tried it out.

Acupuncture is "stick a needle in your foot to heal your liver", which is poo poo.

Sticking needles into a muscle to get it to release tension is normally now referred to as dry needling I think.

I don't think acupuncture is supported at all by science and experiments and stuff at all. Dry needling is definitely a different thing that resembles it and is real, and it sucks.

Acupuncture uses extremely thin filaments that you barely feel as they slip under the skin. Dry needling involves much thicker needles that are inserted into the muscle tissue and moved around to do things like manually break up scar tissue. I’ve had it done by a physiotherapist and it’s exactly as pleasant as it sounds (it also didn’t work fwiw.)

Neither techniques have conclusive proof that they are more effective than placebo.

Chiros were started by a dude who thought he could fix profound deafness by adjusting a dudes spine

This belief has not changed in a century

Reiki is also less than a hundred years old and definitely tries to sound woohoo to naive people

Dry needling is subjective and works if the right person does the right thing I think

My Mrs has had it done and it fixed some issues. My fucky shoulder is at a point where I'm considering it

dry needling exploded a knot in my jaw real quickly. I guess its not proven science but its at least based on some concept of physiology beyond made up chinese magic pathways. I'l amend my statement and say that its probably also just anecdotal and you should just stick with massage and exercises.

I'll say that using chiro as a magical source to fix other weird ailments isn't a thing, but a trained and certified physio cracking your back free your ribs that are gripping to your spine is definitely something that works.

Totally.

My chiro doesn't even charge me. I used to fix his computer issues back in the day so now he cracks my spine for free.

He's a loving magician.

Almost to the point where I'm hope follows through, sacks me, then I can sue for unfair dismissal.

Peter Brock's crystals

One of his business partners from the HDT Special Vehicles days still runs a workshop in Perth. He's a family friend, in his late 60's and works 6 days a week by himself. Does the dyno tuning and servicing/work on my car, i'll often find little religious icons and other weird crystal nonsense glued in hard to reach places. Peter Brock certainly wasn't the only lunatic in HDT SV. I help him buy 'magnetic resonant ionisers', '4G shields' and other whack stuff off of ebay, he's a top bloke and excellent value to be around.
