I have been experiencing really bad lower leg and foot pain, and went to see a physio today to see what's going on. The clinic is attached to a local professional sports ground and treats all their players. He asked what the issue was and I explained, and he asked me to confirm I've adhd and am hypermobile (was on the assessment paperwork I had to fill in).
He said he had ADHD and was hypermobile too, fine, that's interesting etc, then asked me to get on the massage table. He said I likely had Achilles tendonitis and started holding my feet and then launched into a speech about barefoot shoes and passed me his laptop to watch a video on the shoes while he still held my feet.
Then he clicked another video about the covid vaccine and started talking about being an anti vaxxer and that I shouldn't be letting my kids have any vaccines. This went on for about 20 mins. Still holding my feet and gently rubbing them. Then he showed me one exercise to do at home, and gave me his phone number to call him directly if I had any questions.
The appointment was £65!! And I'm in no less pain than when I went in, and felt really weirded out!! Should I complain?? Would there be a point as it was a private physio clinic and not an NHS one? Can they just not really treat you?! And gabble away about whatever they like, or is it against some kind of professional code?! I feel really stupid but I just kind of nodded my head as he was talking as I'm in so much pain I just wanted some help with my feet!!!
