In a similar post to a previous patient complaint at the hospital, 3 separate visits, 6 weeks apart and the physio (young male) failed to assess me in that time, instead focussing on the fact I needed to move more. Did exercises as suggested, no difference in pain and was told in a nutshell that these things happen and I should put up with it. He also told me that back complaints due to bad posture are a myth which I was surprised about. I remain in pain after the physio asked me what I though was wrong with me and concluded I didn't need to be seen again. There was no physical assessment whatsoever and I feel brushed off with an impression made on me of 'pull yourself together' - also being fully aware of my mental health, this was not a positive experience and I am now putting up with the pain and don't feel confident to return for help. I feels to me that the physio did not want to or know what to do and I was fobbed off.
