Any thoughts are welcome.
Stick with your physio's advice, they've examined you and know the specifics of your particular condition.
Definitely not a gimmick, just go into any hospital physio therapy dept.

I'd just like to say thank to Dan etc for the swift delivery of my beastmaker it's up and I'm going to nail myself to the 45 degree slopers as this is probably the easiest way to hang them.
I'm at the 7a/7a+ end of the 7a-7c climbers that the board is aimed at and can only do hangs and repeaters on the big slots, 20 deg slopers, big pockets and a combination of the little edges/bigger edge on the bottom row.
