    This... is probably a simple question but what's the difference between a physiotherapist and a Naprapathist. I'm asking this because while searching around here (moved to Sweden). I'm finding both but the naprapathy place doesn't seem to be listed in the swedish healthcare listings, so I'd like to know to make a better decision. Wiki's description of it seems that it's more specialised?

    Naraprapathy is a form of chiropracty and involves spinal manipulation. This is alternative health and there is a lack of consistency and quality of the practitioners in this field.

    Physiotherapy is done by registered, trained health care professionals who are licensed and regulated. I would recommend the latter because of that fact.

    However, you may find a physiotherapist who has an interest in naraprapathy.
