Chronic Injury and finding someone good to treat it

Mostly when I ask, people recommend a physio, I go and I get better. I'm happy thinking the issue is resolved yet again and again the same issue returns. From my own research, I think I may have some underlying damage, maybe scar tissue, that is making the re-injury so easy but need a professional to help. The problem I have is finding one that can fix me for the long term and identify the root cause rather than the short term fixes and massage I have been getting from physios in the past. Does anyone know what sort of things I should be looking for when shopping for a physio - like specific certifications? Areas of expertise etc? I have found one guy that seems to know his stuff but sadly he is based in the US http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=p3qoiy9XVRw
