🙏 HELP POST🙏 A BIG FAVOUR TO ASK AGAIN! Hi everyone, As many of you will know, I have been dealing with, for 7+ years, numerous complaints made against me to the HCPC by various individuals who are determined to cause me as much trouble, stress and difficulty as possible. All these petty, vexatious and vindictive complaints come from physios and healthcare professionals who either don't like me, disagree with me, have personal grievances against me, or just resent what I do and how I do it. Now some of these complaints are FINALLY due to be heard at an HCPC Fitness to Practise hearing starting on 30th November 2026, after TWO previous abandoned hearings in 2023 and 2024 due to the HCPC's staggering levels of incompetence and mismanagement. And this is where I need to ask for your help and support once again. Many of you have already been incredibly supportive and have previously provided me with some very kind, generous and embarrassingly flattering character and professional testimonials. In fact, some of you have done this TWICE already for the other failed hearings. However, despite the delays being largely of the HCPCs own making, they are now requiring me to obtain fresh testimonials all over again. Apparently, the HCPC consider the previous testimonials as "out of date" and so cannot be relied upon at this new upcoming hearing. So, it’s with a slightly embarrassed and very frustrated expression on my face, I'm asking, once again, for your kind help. If you have previously written a testimonial for me and still have a copy, you can simply update the date, sign it again and email it back to me at [email protected] Alternatively, if you would like to write me a new testimonial, it would need to be: • On headed paper, or on a letter containing your work address if you don't have headed paper. • Dated and preferably hand-signed, because apparently making this process as unnecessarily awkward as possible is important to the HCPC. • Addressed to "To whom it may concern" The letter only needs to cover three things: 1. That you are aware I have an HCPC Fitness to Practise final hearing starting on 30th November 2026, concerning allegations made against me. 2. How you know me, personally and/or professionally. 3. Your honest views on my character, professionalism and practice as a physiotherapist. It doesn't need to be long, complicated or overly formal. Just an honest account of your experiences and opinions of me. You can then email this to me at [email protected] And if possible, could I please have these by 1st November 2026 at the latest, so there's enough time to get everything submitted to the HCPC I know I'm asking a lot, particularly from those of you who have already gone out of your way to help me once or even twice before. Believe me, I am absolutely sick and tired of this whole saga, and I'm sure many of you are sick and tired of hearing about it too. But after seven years of dealing with these complaints, the delays, the stress, the expense and the seemingly endless bureaucratic bullshit… I am determined to see this through and defend both myself and the professional reputation I've spent over 25 years building. So if you can spare a little of your time to help me again, I would be forever grateful. And to those of you who have already supported me throughout this ridiculous ordeal... THANK YOU. I genuinely cannot express how much it means to me. Hopefully, this will be the last time I have to ask for your support with this absolute circus of a process Much love and thanks to you all. Adam

If most #physicaltherapy treatments have a < effect, does it not make sense to offer several #PT treatments 4 max effect??

A poor message by @nytimes Jancee Dunn that normal bending, lifting & twisting will CAUSE a disc to “rupture.” Simply not true.
