The ones are aren’t are not even allowed to call themselves that. Which would be why they aren’t down as that on the list. And I am not sure who was being referred to when I heard that our head or main physio wasn’t qualified.

So it’s not as simple as “oh look - everyone on that list with the title of physio is a qualified physio”. Because that has to be the case. But that doesn’t mean whoever is our main person in the role at this moment in time is qualified.

I’ve just heard that since relegation we’ve been releasing staff and replacing them with cheaper alternatives. So it wouldn’t surprise me if the wiki was out of date and one or more of those qualified people on the list was no longer at the club

They are still at the club, and they are all qualified physios (where relevant). LinkedIn is your friend.

Only one that isn't at the club is Mathew Banks, who isn't a physio, because he's a strength and conditioning coach. Not a physio. Tom Barnden isn't a physio either, because he's not a physio. He's a sports scientist/nutritionist and is hugely qualified.

I'm worried now as I have a physio booked with a specialist - shall I check him out first on LinkedIn?

Now I know why most people with any whispers of potential inside information on these sorts of forums very quickly stop bothering. Happened before when I had a small amount of information that had come from a player (albeit not first hand - just like time)

in fairness - at least this forum isn’t Saintsweb where they actively cry out for “ITK” information and seemingly wonder why it isn’t forthcoming. Here no one asks. Which I guess makes volunteering it a bit of a pointless endeavour

I was only teasing your oddly constructed sentence! Have you read it back?

But when someone offers information, surely you need to be able to handle it being mildly scrutinised. Particularly something as peculiar as this one?

Should we just take it as gospel and pass it on.
