I am concerned that you have had a bad experience with physios, or are in some way out to discredit someone that has spent years training...surely a physio specialising in sport knows alot. I have no idea of your qualifications, but you seem to be some kind of personal trainer.

To be honest I didn't go to a physio to get exercise advice, I went to find out how to return my abs to their fromer selves after an op.

As for the belief, you don't seem to believe in physios, you seem to have come across salesmen posing as physios though, which I never have.
Scania Girl I'm just a taxi driver with no sports qualifications.

I'm not discrediting all physios, just stating a fact that most of them know nothing about worthwhile physical training.In fact nearly every personal trainer is the same.

The reason for this is the need for substantial knowledge in the areas of Maths, Physics, chemistry and human biology.Most people struggle with these subjects, hence they can't apply them to physical training.

The job of a physio is to heal injuries in the best way possible.Once recovered the work of a physio is over.To tell you how to train after isn't really their domain, although they may have a personal interest in sports training.
