random question all, but one of the 15mm nuts that came with my built pompino has been burred. LBS replaced it with a normal flanged one. I want to go back to the one that it came with, which had this weird floating flange. I hope that makes sense... question is, where do I get them from? Cheers.

While for some musculo-skeletal conditions there is reasonable evidence to suggest that its as good as any physio, thats not all all osteopathy claims to fix and cure, is it. There's a whole canon of osteopathy that makes woowoo claims, with bollocks all evidence.
There's plenty of evidence that you're a whiny butthurt bedwetter though, irrespective of your claims that you are out, or that you don't care.
Good luck with your chosen career. I'm sure you'll have plenty of success.
And aren't you looking to have a musculoskeletal condition treated? If so, given your own admission that evidence exists - then what's stopping you? yes there is a canon of people making claims, but just avoid them.
Going back to your original request for a recommendation for a physio, you could have easily made it without running your mouth about how osteopathy or whatever else is woo hoo and all that shit.
But you didn't do that, because from the evidence given you're clearly a stubborn sob who has made a decision about a whole profession on the basis of what some of them claim but cannot back up. And then you go on talking about "evidence" that you've never produced. My problem isn't with your decision, it's that you may influence others who may believe your weak-ass claims and not do their own research.
You can make your decision about anything and form and opinion and that's cool, but there just isn't any reason for you to go round talking shit about how a whole profession is woo-hoo without provocation. That just makes you a cunt.

I started with the question "how effective is osteopathy" - then reviewed the available (meta) evidence, and formed a view. That's not cherry picking - that's science.
That's not evidence either, is it. That's flaky post-hoc reasoning.
For some curious reason, you claim to know how I would act, and yet you don't know me at all. My opinion is formed on the basis of the available evidence.
The quality of your argument does precious little to boost your credibility.
Dude, I don't give a shit what you think of osteopathy, I really don't. And if I never see you as a patient, then so much the better.
You're on here claiming you reviewed meta evidence, etc - yet all you've done so far is link to a badly written nhs choices webpage, nothing else.
Where is this evidence that you speak of?
-
And let's be clear here - I'm looking to give someone money to treat a condition that is causing pain and discomfort.
I'm not looking to win an argument with someone who is butt hurt because I'm calling their chosen profession woo-woo gullible bullshit.
I'm not butthurt because of what you said, rather I am butthurt by the surgery I had last week, I was sent off with no antibiotics and a (purposefully) open wound from the operating theatre and lo and behold - it's now infected and my GP is monitoring the condition with A+E mentioned as a possible backup. But that's another story for a different day.
Also - there is no point in arguing with you and in fact I tried not to sound like I was arguing. If you think that osteopathy is bullshit, then that's fine. I can't imagine that you're going to change your mind anytime soon, despite any evidence I might present.
However - you can take a badly written NHS webpage and draw all your inferences from that and that's clearly what you're doing, cherry picking evidence to back up your view. OR you can also take into account that the osteopaths act (as someone mentioned before) was brought in for a reason, that shit didn't just happen by accident. You could also take into account the fact that the NICE guidelines mention osteopathy and that there are, in fact - NHS osteopaths out there. Not many, mind.
You could also take into account that an appointment at the british school of osteopathy will cost you £26 (I think), you could probably have it within 2-3 days (we have a lot of students) and the first appointment will last EDIT 80 mins (yes the students are learning, but the duration is also due to the fact that we have to be thorough and safe to treat).
Yes, some osteopaths claim to treat colic, asthma, period pain, etc etc but I don't believe them either. IF your problem is musculoskeletal in nature and you were treated by a physio then an osteo will be able to help. You will find that GENERALLY there is less exercise prescription and a lot more hands on work on a couch.

It's not quite the science-based evidence for effectiveness
Where are you getting this from?
-
- Osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncture, trigger points, other pseudo-science.
HAHAHAHA I didn't actually see that bit of your original post.
I'm not gonna spend time trying to persuade you that osteopathy may help whatever condition the physio was helping you with. But I will say this:
I have been awarded a BEng as well as an MSc from UCL. It doesn't end there, I am also a published (co)author of a peer reviewed publication in the Royal Society of Science. By all means, I am a scientist. I am now doing a course in osteopathy because I've decided that's what I want to do with my life. I wouldn't call it pseudo-science and I CAN tell the difference, I assure you. Your opinion may vary.
I see patients as part of my course (have been since september). I have a number of patients who see a physio post surgery, as mandated by the NHS - but they also come to see me. Not because their physio session have finished, they see me at the same time. They pay to do so. You think they are all deluded? I don't think so, I think there is a (very good) reason for it. again - your opinion may vary.
I'm out.
- Osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncture, trigger points, other pseudo-science.

Balls - my physio has moved to Chester.
Who can recommend me a physio?
Any practitioners of woo-woo bullshit can >>>>>>>>>>>> though.
does it have to be a physio? you can get good treatment from students at the british school of osteopathy. check out bso.ac.uk for further info.
For full disclosure - I am a student at the BSO; but I will say that I started out as a patient and ended up on the course. Take that as you will.
I'd recommend my services privately - I am a qualified/insured sports massage therapist; but I've had surgery last week and I don't think I'm up to it yet.
What do you need doing, exactly?

Funnyyou should mention but there was some parmesan involved ...
so the obvious follow up question is - do you have parmesan, or any other cheese as part of other meals?
Emyr might be onto something!

Spelt has a bit more protein and happily bakes into a loaf on it's own.
Some may argue that it's not a wheat though.I dont think its the high protein that precludes good loaf formation, but rather the absence of gluten... jeez I sound like a twat sometimes! ok, all the time! :P
Thanks. And the thread size? Is it 3/8?
