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.
Physio Recommendation??
