It's a brave man who looks for a miracle cure from a physio who can't even spell ankle ;)
Get a bag of frozen peas on it :cool: Good luck :)

The only thing that has ever got anywhere near to helping me, was something called Mason's Dog Oil, which is a blend of Rape Oil and (cover your ears Injury Advice) Petroleum Jelly. But even then, I reckon that was more to do with the continual massaging of the area as opposed to the actual product.
Good Luck, hope you make it in time.:)
Thanks for that SimGreen. I've been trying the RICE technique, so hopefully will be feeling the benefit tomorrow. A friend has suggested that once the swelling goes down to try strengthening exercises on the childrens trampoline ! Sounds good to me.
I'll hobble round the Blubberhouses Moor 25 if I have to !
I've used dog oil for years. It's good stuff.Quote:

Clinical sports & remedial therapist is my proper status , I have 15 years of clinical practice under my belt & have treated several international athletes back to full fitness. I am a fellow of Sports & remedial therapy, I have Taught the subject for 10 years And am as good as Any General Physiotheapist if not better at treating & rehabilitating sports injuries. I do work alongside Several Sports Pyhsiotherapists who i have a high regard for & there are ones that i regard beter than myself, they also have the highest regard for me. Also i work alongside several Orthopedic consultants who also have a high regard of my work, And send me clients for Rehabilitation. So i am sorry for any cofusion. Sports therapists can get a bad press because some qualify in a week & some like myself have done 2 years full time plus every year either taught courses or attended them, I can asure all forum members there is no comparrison to a two week qualified sports therapiat & a 2 year full time course & 15 years of running own clinic
Crikey! Thats the answer for you IanFitz. But... was or is it the person you were asking about??:confused:
One of my aims is to help Members find the right Sports Physiotherapist or Sports therapist in their area.
I do know seveal of each proffession mainly in the north & north west. What i am tierd of seeing in the clinic is people who have had treatment after treatment with no improvement month after month, by both the above. Ime not bothered if people go elswhere. for treatment i am busy in the clinic & just want to se sports people back enjoying their sport. If people ring me i will try to advise them but will always tell them if treatment is needed to go and se either of the above as you can not make a Diagnostic judgment on the phone.
