if you had the choice...

to be either a fully qualified Mctimoney Chiropractor or a chartered veterinary physiotherapist which would you pick?and why?!

Vet physio. Don't rate McT's at all and AFAIK, there isn't any reliable science behind it to back up the technique.

I've yet to meet a vet who will recommend a McT yet they will always recommend a physio and in some cases, an ostepath.

Vet physio for me too. A friend of mine is just finishing her qualification, it seems very rigorous, scientific and evidence based and I would trust her 100%.

Vet physio.... but then I want to be a vet so I guess that's kinda obvious

 

[Swirlymurphy]

Vet physio. Agree with Chestnut Cob re lack of science and evidence underpinning McT.

 

[Sophiie]

Probably physio - although having said that, my vet reccomended McT for my horse and she has worked wonders. A friend of mine has just completed a MSc in McT and there is certainly more and more science supporting the work of McT, I was pleasantly suprised.

 

[Haha]

Vet physio here also I'm afraid.

well, i really rate McT, but that's purely from a patient and rider's viewpoint. it has made huge differences to my comfort (esp in totally eradicating my then-chronic sciatica).
however, i was trying to get an equine physio and couldn't get hold of 1 at all, and had no problems getting a McTimoney Chiro (1st of which did a not-great job, 2nd does a brilliant job), so perhaps that might be indicative of their popularity etc...
