No, it's not, but way better than making false economies. £ 48 for 1hour consultation, £37 per 1/2 hour follow up, making £85 in total.
And a clear diagnosis with exercise regime and theraband to rehab and prevent future problems.
Contrast this with a combined cost of about £75 with an osteo who apart from a little manipulation and advising me to avoid certain arm positions when climbing in future (WTF?!) was a total waste of money.
To paraphrase the Furry Freak Brothers: 'You'll get through times of climbing but no money more easily than times of money but no climbing'
(The original: substitute 'dope' - 'climbing' - but that's 70s counter-culture for you.)
FWIW I've seen about 8 physios/osteos over the years, some very good, some less so.
The two who stand out as excellent are Alan Raw (physio) and Paul Donnelly (Sheffield osteo). Paul was brilliant, recommended to me by Jerry, and used to charge me half rate when I was a youngster on the dole in Sheffield. Unfortunately (tho not for him) he's swapped Eccleshall Road for the Pyrenees to run a cycling holiday business. Good luck to him.
What they both have in common is this: when you've got a sports injury, you should really get a sportsman to help fix it. Paul's a competitive triathlete, and re. Alan, not quite sure what he practises but after previously being a physio at Man City and now with Wigan Warriors he's clearly up to speed on sports injuries.
And the best of it Serps - St John Street is only 5 minutes from Broughton
