    Which is better? Are they both healers or bone setters? What is the difference. Numerous Physio's tried with no success.

    I'm surprised a good physio couldn't sort that.. maybe you need an MRI if it's swollen and locking? Especially if problem persisting beyond 6 weeks.. John Stacey is an excellent physical therapist in Perry's square.. but you might need to get a diagnosis before he gives you a rehab plan.

    Sorry I haven't answered your original query !

    Maybe go back to your GP for 2nd review /opinion and ask whether might be time for a scan

    Moss Lane wasn't working lately due to illness I heard.

    Are these healers from the travelling community? I'm intrigued.

    No he isnt. He is a respected business owner in the town.

    Nothing can just "resolve" an injury/complaint like that. See a chartered physiotherapist, get some advice. Possibly swimming will help also.

    Being from the travelling community does not preclude the fellow from being respected or respectable. I just had visions of a gypsy faith healer or something.

    I believe moss lane is a vet by trade and the gentleman in rathkeale is a butcher by trade. My understanding is that they each have gifts to heal ailments especially those with musculoskeletal difficulties.


    How it works I am unsure.

    Moss Lane isn't a vet. He is a farmer. His treatments work for some and don't work for more.

    Can help but feel slightly cynical.. but I will admit my bias as I work in "conventional" healthcare. What did you decide in the end Molly?
