Thought for the day. Had a physio session, yesterday, with (relatively) New Physio - Old Physio left the practice earlier this year to return to the Antipodes, so I started seeing New Physio instead.

This was the first session I've had for some months, partly because the insurance co defined my problem as chronic and will not pay for any more treatment, and partly because, actually, hip was being pretty reasonable, a bit twingey from time to time but nothing like as bad as it used to be.

It would be oh so easy to attribute this to the miracle-working technique of New Physio (and NP is good, true), following the ups and downs of progress during nearly 2 years of Old Physio.

It would also be easy to say that that was just the point at which 2 years of physio paid off.

But IAMC, and I am inclined to think that it was a combination of the two things, of the basis of that ongoing work and perhaps some new approach or tactic on the part of NP.

Because this is a phenomenon that I have noticed in other spheres of endeavour, that things go plodding away for quite a while and nothing seems to be happening, and then some other thing happens, and whoosh! Upon which other thing tends to get the credit. But other thing wouldn't have had that effect without the long tedious plod beforehand.
