I come from Australia and physiotherapists there are very skilled at soft tissue manipulation and joint manipulation. I have been treated by them for everything from a painful neck to torn hamstrings with a lot of success. They can give siginificant pain relief after just one visit.

Hey @anthrovegan, yesterday we spoke about traditional manipulation with the practitioner. It's very interesting. What tends to be lacking is the know-how to not manipulate a problem area. In my wife's case, there were multiple issues identified that the chiro said she wouldn't be touching as she suspects that they are symptoms of the root problem and not the problem itself. By working on the symptoms you are only fighting the body's adaptation to a fault elsewhere. That identification seems to be a rare skill. Thanks for the input!
I know how difficult it can be to find a medical practitioner that can really address a problem once it becomes more complex. I hope this works out for your wife.
Our genuine thanks for your well wishes!
