"Lack of knowledge "

Been having physio treatment due to lower back pain and a pars defect.

Physio had to go away initially and read up on back pain and how to alleviate issues (surely this is one of the most common issues they treat).

Their plan was to perform more abdominal exercises (fair enough) but then immediately said there’s no evidence that this will actually help, but let’s do it anyway .

I then spoke with my specialist consultant who said I must do hamstring strengthening and exercises for back pain as the two are related. Surprisingly he again had no knowledge that this was important. I’m surprised and a little concerned about the lack of expertise this physio had and how little information he has on his own subject matter.
