Physio Recommendation??

[curves2000]

Hi all,

I recently had a little injury I suspect while working out at the gym, I say suspect because I don't recall injuring it and didn't notice anything until a few days later.

I am having a little left body side meltdown here, left hip pain, left knee pain and a painful groin pain.

I went to the Dr. and got a bunch of tests done, nothing appears torn but I may have a slight imbalance that caused a groin pull/ hip injury??

Anybody here that can recommend a good physio center? Pref somewhere in the SW? Can you post any experiences?

Trying to rehab this thing and its driving me nuts!

Thanks!

PT Kinetics, they are in the SE though, 130th and 52nd area. Ask to see Scott.

Shari Macdonald at Livactiv (formerly the running injury clinic) is really good. Located at Glenmore Landing.

Nice guy but I would recommend against him.

In general, finding a physio with the "FCAMPT" designation is a good sign as it means they've done numerous courses and potentially an extra clinical master's degree, and that they have at least 5-6 years of clinical experience.

There are other continuing education courses and of course there are good therapists that aren't FCAMPT but it's hard to find (or even know if you have a) good physio without something like this.

Also, some signs your physio may not be evidence-based:
-They use ultrasound. Some good ones still have this bad habit but it's supplemented by extensive hands on and exercise
-They use TENS and IFC. See ultrasound
-Acupuncture has been researched to have some placebo effects but not much else at this point. Dry needling/IMS is the big thing in the physio world but is very different than acupuncture and the research is only in the early stages
-Cupping falls within the acupuncture category

If you find these things work then all the power to you. They just don't have much science behind them.

or marry a physio like I did. It's saved me from becoming a drain on my work benefits.

My wife does not work at Lakeview as we're not from Calgary, but a close friend and a couple of old classmates of hers do.

I am a success story for all of those treatment techniques.
