callyh Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Can anyone direct me to a doctor in northern Joburg area specialising in/ with lots of experience in treating repetitive strain injuries due to cycling? I googled the topic but came up with nothing/ nobody specific to South Africa....www.fitnessadvisor.co.za promises the earth but delivers no details when one searches on the site. A few massage therapists come up elsewhere, but I'm looking for persons with proper diagnostic training. So I wonder if The Hub wouldn't be an appropriate place to host a listing of helpful sports medicine professionals?

Treatment wise he referred me back to physio who then was able to sort it quite quickly - what I liked is he didn't default to surgery even though he is an orthopaedic surgeon...

The Training and Nutrition thread in the "Tech Shack" forum is probably the closest to what you are suggesting, but ja a sports medicine specific thread might be a good idea. Maybe send Admin a pm and suggest it

GOOGLED DR BARROW, impressive guy, may need his orthopaedic services (knees) too, so doubly thanks. dracs 1
dracs Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 GOOGLED DR BARROW, impressive guy, may need his orthopaedic services (knees) too, so doubly thanks.Just note there are 5 Dr Barrows in toto! 4 brothers and the dad! I think 4 of the 5 are orthopadic surgeons!
V12man Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 GOOGLED DR BARROW, impressive guy, may need his orthopaedic services (knees) too, so doubly thanks. There are 3 Barrows in that practice - Brian, Michael and Andrew (Dad and 2 sons) a real family business - I think the other brother is an ob/gyn
dracs Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 There are 3 Barrows in that practice - Brian, Michael and Andrew (Dad and 2 sons) a real family business - I think the other brother is an ob/gyn+ brother no. 4 Robert... Peter is a gastroenterologist....
V12man Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 + brother no. 4 Robert... Peter is a gastroenterologist.... So - out by an inch.... approximately... my bad... I actually thought Robert has an independent practice - I am well be wrong though - wrong side of town for me - or I could just be confused. Good lads all - Brian is my favourite the way he treats his socks... bugger took shears to mine the last time I saw him.
