I have a rotator cuff injury in me shoulder (drummer) - anyone have experience with that sort of thing? I have had physio, but am thinking about this electro needle sticky thing...sounds like fun!

I've had a shitty back and hips for years, went to several different chiropractors over the space of about three years then tried an osteopath, and will never go back, my guy is in Lower Hutt unfortunately for you, but he's a god and I love him (not that I tell him that) (or my hubby, lol). Different strokes for different folks and will probably depend on exactly what the problem is. Good luck!

Thanks for all the comments and recommendations. Thinking back on it (ha, my back!), it's not really 'bone' issues, more muscle I think, or nerves.. Macktheknife did an awesome job loosening my neck. The grinding has stopped now (yes, I know..), so that's fixed. He pushed in on the pain (could have hit his goolies for that, but he was helping, so I didn't) which worked for a while, but came back with a vengeance.

I stood in the shower on as hot as I could saturday night when I got back, and sunday morning, which helped relax me, but didn't fix the problem.

I'll probably give that dude a call (Phillip Mettrick) and see what he can do, especially since he's local to me. And, I might take you up on the offer too, BP.

As for that last comment spb, LAMOFRAOTFLMAO.. bwwhaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahha

yeah i have,

had phsyio on it for ages and still didn't come right.
a lot of it was from sleeping on the side of my sore shoulder so i used to tape bottle tops to it so when i'd sleep and roll that side they'd hust and make you move from that side.
you get used to it and dont even wake up after a while.
then had dye injected in there to see where it was leaking and what was needed.
Now they want to operate but cant really afford time off work.
so thats where im at now.
2 of my mates have had the op and it has worked but they dont play there sports anymore.

"Massage therapy"? At least it's probably more effective than physiotherapy -- I cannot believe that it takes five years at university to learn how to use an ultrasound machine and "prescribe" exercise. I blame ACC for foisting this extremely dodgy practice on those with strains and contusions.
