Need a good pregnancy chiro or physio in VIC

**cazoraz** · February 27th, 2009, 05:34 PM

Hi all - am looking for recommendations of a good chiro and/ore physio in VIC that specialises in pregnancy related conditions.

I have pelvic instability (SPD) and can barely walk, can't work, can't sleep, and am in general agony. Saw a physio a few times this week, she had me in tears it was so friggin painful - and now I am taped, strappe dinto a belt and using crutches.

I've been searchign around and some sufferers claim chiro did wonders - can anyone recommend one? I'm in the South East suburbs, near Frankston. Can't travel too far either due to this pain!!

cheers

I had SPD also and I went to Fitwise physio in Albert st East melbourne, they were fantastic and only have woman patients and mainly pregnancy related probs.

may be to far for you .

Good luck with it all. (how many weeks are you?)

Hey Caz

I know someone in Frankston. But he is a massage therapist. He has helped me, mine is no way as severe as your sounds, but if he can't help you he will know who can.

Snap feeb! That's the one I go to (still).

Caz, if no-one comes up with anything close to you then I'd suggest giving Fitwise a call anyway and explaining that it's too far for you to travel but do their physios know of anyone similar in your area. Worth a try because I know how agonising it is.

Hi Caz,
Have you considered an Ostyo? I know a great one that has a clinic in both Moorabbin and rosebud. my sister has gone to him for both her pregnancies (the first she got to a stage she couldnt move either) and i am booking ing for next week (my first appointment since getting pregnant) i have however seen him after i had a car accident a few years back.

Details:
Dr Marcel Ghoukassian

Hope you get the help you need

email me if you want the details. (I will delete that email address in a little while

Thanks girls. Is your guy an osteo aswell or just massage? There are so many choices and I have no idea!! I've always enjoyed a good massage but never had to do more...
