Manfred

 I just had a horrible shock. The Physiotherapy centre in Broadstone just phoned to say that Manfred no longer works there and would I like to book someone else for my appointment next week?

No, I blooming well don't!

They won't/aren't allowed to say why, but it has to be one of two things - either his mother (who is frail and elderly) in the Netherlands can no longer cope.(though I thought they might have told me if that was the case), or he's fallen out with the new owners of the practice.  It changed hands a couple of months ago.

I'm currently searching the Internet to try and find where he will be working, if he's still in the UK.  He has an inactive Facebook page (but I'm trying to message him just in case he ever checks there ) and I've found a place in Wimborne (local) which has his name on their books - so I've left a message on their answerphone.

Fingers crossed, the man is a miracle worker. Won't give you social chit chat, or run loads of tests - just listens to you saying where it hurts, then proceeds to massage in a totally different place.  And magically, the pain goes away.  Referred pain.  Tension in one area causes pain in another.  I think he just has an incredible knowledge of anatomy, combined with fingers that can detect tight muscles.

Trained at a university in the Netherlands - they must do damn good courses there...

That is very distressing. I hope you find him soon.
I'm going to a guy over on the coast for sessions that make me feel ever so much better. But every appointment involves a long drive and most of a day. I really want to find someone here in Ukiah.

Oh no. Once you find a person who can seriously help you and now this...I also think that it is worthwhile to try to find him. I am not sure if you would be able to get anyone else with such knowledge and skill. Good luck!!!
