Hi All,

I'm trying to help a friend in VN who is having chronic shoulder and neck pain but hasn't been able to find a solution.

Does anyone have any recommendations for physiotherapists in HCMC?

Thanks,

As a retired Osteopath, I can be sure from your description, that a Psyiotherapist will probably not help.
My advice would be to go to a Chiropractor, there is a good one in D1.
Psyiotherapists deal with muscular problems, Chiropractors and Osteopaths deal with bone and joint manipulation...

Forget about chiropractors, find a good acupuncturist( ch芒m c峄﹗) much better way of dealing with the problem.

Muscles move bones. Bones don't move muscles.

Quack!

It makes perfect sense if you think about it logically.

Bones have no means of moving themselves except for the soft tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments) which exert force, support and resistance at and around origin and insertion points.

The proprioceptive relief brought on through Chiropractic adjustment of "bones and joints" serves a purpose in teaching the body to realign itself while temporarily relieving discomfort and possibly improving range of motion.

However, when the practitioner/therapist considers the etiology of the mal-alignment, the culprit is almost always the soft tissue of the body.

Thus, if a patient wants more permanent pain relief and to learn proper exercises and movement to prevent a recurrence of the problem, a physiotherapist or neuromuscular massage therapist can usually release the problem(s) in the soft tissue which are pulling the skeleton out of proper alignment and teach the appropriate stretching, exercises and movements (such as workplace repetitive motions) which will empower the patient to regain control of their own wellness.

As a neuromuscular massage therapist myself, I always recommend yoga to my clients for long-term relief of musculoskeletal dyscrasias.
