Did my back in over the weekend after a bout of gardening and spring cleaning. Phoned up for an appointment, receptionist was quite curt, but i turned up anyway. Should have taken that for a warning sign of worse things to come. Physio seemed in a hurry as he had other patients waiting. Wondered if they practice double booking. Fast assessment, and implied I should drop weight. Did some massage and half hearted mobilisations on my back and asked me to come back in a week. Flared up more that night. Next morning was stuck in bed till just before dinner. Missed a day of work. Definitely not going back.

Approximate cost: $65

I suffered a severe back injury at work and through compo went to these guys. My back was treated in various ways and treatment did not end until I felt comfortable with it. They also told me to return if it flared up.
