Australian pelvic physiotherapy

Post by woodsy35 »

Hi, first time post but have been following the forums on and off over the last few years. I live in a small city near Sydney and was wondering if any Australian sufferers had any success in finding a PT in Sydney area for trigger points internally?

I know most would suggest flying to Stanford but cost are considerable and I have emailed David Wise as well. This has got me thinking if it was possible to get a group of Aussie sufferers to pool our money together and fly out David Wise and a Physio to conduct a workshop here in Australia. Benefits for us would be lower cost and not having to sit for the 19 hours flight :oops: And David and the Physio can have a holiday after the workshop seeing our great southern land.

Have no idea how we could set this up but if others are interested maybe we could hatch a plan.

Thanks BSB,

Have you had any treatment yet with your Victoria mob yet?

I checked out the website for the Sydney one, they don't mention trigger points as a treatment but they may know of someone I guess.

Hi Woodsy,

No I haven't started treatment yet, but I'm close to it. Travel & cost aside, I dont want to live with this Sh*t anymore & get on with life ! I figure, we all get to a stage early on where we can only do so much ourselves & then look for help to take our treatment further.

Meantime, can I suggest you ring the colorectal centre up your way, as they state, "Management of disorders" on there web site.

All the best with it.

Cheers,

BSB

Hello Australia,

Gez backside reading your symptoms they seem really bad, all the best mate. Sorry I don't have anything more helpful to say than this I'm still new here.

Hi Damien,

Welcome mate. You've come to the right place for help & support.

Like most of us here, I started with A HEADACHE IN THE PELVIS which gave me the understanding of what's going on & a sense of direction to treatment. If, you dont have a copy, I would really recommend you get it.

I'm actually booked in for my first session next month and was happy to hear that the clinic is now familiar with A HEADACHE IN THE PELVIS after I put them onto it about a year ago. We dont have the same clinical resources as our friends in the UK & US, but I think we're on the way :)

Visit often, and mate, look into ways to help with your stress / anxiety as most of us here would agree that its a major contributer to our condition.

All the best.

Cheers.
