Just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent physio therapist in gwangju as I seem to have really messed up my shoulder and it doesn't seem to be healing on its own. Preferrably one that is a little foreigner friendly, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks!

Ok, sorry to be really vague, but I can recommend two:

1) Used to be a guy on the second floor of a building near the labor office. The one near Yang-Dong market. I believe he is not there anymore, but somewhere may know if he is still in practice somewhere.

2) In Bong-sung dong, from the main intersection, you walk up the road towards the children's hospital and towards where the train tracks used to be. About 1.5 blocks up on the left, there is a doctor's office on the second floor. I don't remember his name, but there are green crosses on his windows. The doctor there speaks pretty good English (but the nurses don't) and has a therapy unit within his offices.

Pardon my ignorance, but could you tell me approximately where Bong-sung dong is in Gwangju... is there a place I could tell a taxi driver to let me off and then walk from there?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't taken a taxi there in so long!

How about a bus? #2 stops kind of across the street from it, and #5 (from the YMCA) stops around the corner. You would get off the #5 across from the Baskin-Robbins.
