I didn't saw Laura's MRI, but I did witnessed Ivan's aka P.T.'s diagnostic maneuvers and re-positionings. A good physiotherapist is certainly not faint of heart...
From physical maneuvers, he diagnosed Laura's problems in a precise and complete manner, later everything was confirmed with the MRI. He was able to sense from touch alone that the hamstring was severely torned.
He said that he was trained in Germany for the Spark Shock Therapy which attracts stem cells where the spark is applied.
He re-positioned the torned meniscus which was "catapulted" out of place with Mulligan's techniques. He recommended Cyriax Orthopedic Medicine and Mulligan's physiotherapy techniques. He warned to stay away from sports practitioners because they are too focused on sports injuries and nothing else.
He said it was important to work on the whole unit, bones + muscles + nerves. A chiropractor might neglect the muscles and a physiotherapist might neglect the bones.
He had several machine, one of the favorite ones were the laser therapy (near far infrared and red) which comes with cuppings with electrodes that transmit energy that cross inside the articulation.
The physiotherapy in Serbia rocks :)
One of the docs understood Laura when she said she had a high threshold for pain. According to her Laura should have been on a wheel chair or screaming in pain.

Laura, you're so tough and strong - working constantly, doing research, helping others all the time, always being there for everyone - that we sometimes might tend to "forget" or not have much of a clue about how much pain you must have been in, and are still in, even if you're starting to feel better. I very much hope that the pain will completely go away and that you recover once and for all. You certainly had your share of pain and suffering, and enough is enough 
It's great to hear you were treated by true professionals who know what they're doing and who cover all aspects with much care. And it's really great that you're already noticing benefits!
