[alophysio]

No problems garjagan. The rest of this comment is not really directed at you but a musing for further comment - i am not "preaching" but if you think i am, i am sorry and you can tell me to get of my soap box! But i would like to hear opinions on what others think about asking people to get to physio and pay for it themselves...

Over the years, i have noticed that people who are used to getting something for free (like treatment) have difficulty going to private practices because if they wait, it will be for "free". Kinda of like saying "why go to the movies on a Saturday when tuesday is half-price" - yet people still go on Saturdays because of the convenience of the time.

I think it is a false economy because waiting weeks can actually mean you are longer off work and sport and spend more time (which is money) getting better because it wasn't sorted in the first week.

Do others have any thoughts on how to encourage people to seek treatment they have to pay for before getting into NHS physio?

Thanks
