    Ive heard about this guy and wondering have many people been to him?
    i have terrible problems with my back and shoulder and need to get it sorted. have been to loads of physio and whatnot.
    do bonesetters just deal with bones? mine is a more a muscle problem
    are they painful? manhandle you around the place like!


    thanks

    jo williams. fantastic. we carried my mam in as she was so bad with back pain. she came out walking, stiff but after a few days was flying it. as i sat there watching her being treated, he could tell i had a small twinge too- nothing too bad. cant remember what we gave him in money. that is 15yr ago i suppose. he is a butcher by trade !!

    Dear god do not go to a bonesetter! Continue with physio change if needs be to a different physio go to your gp ask for a referral to a appropriate consultant

    And just continue to give the physio loads of dosh, and you never know, he might recommend his friend, another physio...:D

    You can go to any physio you like or ask around but a physio is actually trained unlike a 'bonesetter'
    I speak as someone whos aunt has been using a crutch for the last 10 years after visiting a 'bonesetter'
    Okay maybe she would still not be fully right if she had continued with the physio butvshe wouldnt be ruined either
    Theres no quick fix with your body

    I've only ever heard great things about him. Sister went to him 4 weeks ago after been out of work a week from doing in her back, Of course, the Doctor gave her painkillers as is their want. Off she went out to Rathkeale with my dad driving as she was too bad to drive herself. Came hopping out and has been flying since.

    It will probably be the best 5 to 20euro you will ever spend.
    A mate of mine who could not turn his neck or touch his toes was out on the golf course
    a week later.

    My father, grandfather, grandmother, cousin, uncle have all gone to him. A lad I know that used to own a furniture business used to send all his movers out there too for back problems. My father always had back pains and pains in his leg, have not been at him since going to Joe. My grandfather has been ten times better but not 100%, Joe could even tell he had had an injury in his foot from playing rugby 50 years ago. My my grandmother has been way better but still required surgery for hips so hasn't been back to him in years. My cousin found himself much better since visiting joe after complaining a lot with back problems. My uncle is an extreme case as he broke nearly every bone in his body in a crash. He doesn't get much relief but Joe helped loosen him up a lot.

    It's worth giving him a go. He is at it for years and does not charge. You can leave a donation of whatever you choose and most people seem to leave between 10-20euro. If you go out and are dodgy about it or unsure about what he says the problem is then you can always just say you'd like to leave it and go somewhere else.

    coming from Limerick, take the turnoff for Askeaton when you reach Rathkeale
    Fairly sure its the first house after the GAA pitch (the old one, not Neville Park)
    which is just near the meat factory. you'll see the cars outside his house.
    he does'nt do this 'appointment' stuff.
    he should be there tonight.
    been a few years since i went to him, that says it all, not a problem since.

    Brought him out to Joe,and Joe explained that it was an injury around his shoulder blade.
    Joe is a Living Legend! Thank God for him.

    You forgot to mention your opening times Joe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭EndaHonesty


    I've used Joe myself many times, any time I've had a back problem.

    I have recommended him to many people, and every one I've sent to him has had success.

    He doesn't charge for his services either, people make a contribution if they want to...

    Broke my elbow years ago and has been acting up of late i.e. there's things I do pain-free with one elbow that I can't with the other, must give a visit.

    This guy came up in conversation recently. I know of a few people that went to him over the years and never once heard a complaint. I'm still a young(ish) man but have had back problems since my early teens. A&E visit problems. Was always sent home with a few drugs rather than advice on how to deal with the physical problem. Played rugby as a young fella and always worked in very physical jobs which didn't help.

    Advanced Gh0st, I'll go if you go!

    Is Joe still doing this work. What days and times does he work? Will be travelling from tipp so want to be sure he is there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1 Christian333.333


    Joe is a legend.I have been sending people to him for over ten years.

    Never did he f-up anyone.

    Went to him last month.May 2022.Sorted!

    Doctors are clueless,and now are the third leading cause of death on the planet.(Iatrogenic -cause of death).
