A visit to a physiotherapist can result in more discomfort than you started out with, at least temporarily. However, a Cairns bloke reckons hes found the key to the problem.

He was told to lie on the couch while the physio manipulated his limbs. The physio urged him to sing out if he felt any pain during the procedure and he would stop.

He (the physio) told him (the patient) to turn on his side, then grabbed him firmly by the arm and started to apply pressure.

Aaargh! shrieked the bloke almost immediately.

Is it hurting already? asked the startled and somewhat concerned physio.

Yes, gasped the grimacing patient. Im lying on my car keys!
