I actually have similar feelings about PT when it involves just working with an assistant on exercises. I would rather do the exercises at home and use the PT appointment for one-on-one time with the PT. Whether it's massage or some other form of treatment that I can't get at home, that's why I go to PT.

I am referring to the negative ones. No one is forcing them to read your opinions. Why do they feel the need to comment? This is a space where we can vent and complain. You know what? We put ourselves in PT because we do things that beat the shit out of our body and then when we can't do the thing we love, we are upset. Of course we bitch about PT.We are there when we are at our crankiest. I would tell those people to go EFF THEMSELVES.<br /><br />BUT, the entertainment factor on those comments is high.

Back then at the young age of 31 (HAHAHA) I didn't realize I could ask for a different PT. Now I am 33 and sassy and would not stand for a PT that wouldn't even talk to me. Seriously. Some days I would go in and just do my thing and she wouldn't even say hi to me. Awkward. I should have gotten another PT. My bad.<br /><br />It sounds like you have a really good PT!

I do dislike the whole PT thing because 1) I really don't have time to schedule hour long appointments several times a week [yes, I know, who's got time to be injured??] and 2) my PT visits are all out of pocket payment due to high copay. The comments from those people are valid, but that doesn't mean you have to like PT! haha<br /> I'd rather just have exercises I could do at home! I didn't know that was an option. I'll have to ask for that next time I go in!Lisa @ TechChick Adventureshttp://www.techchickadventures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-29183239050497786642016-05-03T15:13:57.963-04:002016-05-03T15:13:57.963-04:00I say talk to your PT and if you are truly doing t...I say talk to your PT and if you are truly doing the exercises on your own, see if you can come in once a week or something for exercise progressions.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-79685428203607158392016-05-03T15:13:09.603-04:002016-05-03T15:13:09.603-04:00Yay it's nice to hear from a PT!

A good PT would make sure patients don't feel they can do everything on their own at home.... By always progressing the exercise program ... But if a patient becomes independent with their program I only have them come 1x per week or as needed because as a former patient myself I hated that copay! i think you just needed a better PT :)Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09906453991093221842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-82963594971934869492016-05-03T14:51:31.840-04:002016-05-03T14:51:31.840-04:00Did your physical therapy eventually help?

I want to discontinue the treatment because of how time consuming. Not only that but I'm doing exercises that I do at the gym or my home. I'd like to get the opinion from someone who has had to get PT done on their knees like I doGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735032954126254437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-82447445752460855472016-05-03T14:33:49.580-04:002016-05-03T14:33:49.580-04:00I too turn off comments on all posts older than id...I too turn off comments on all posts older than idk maybe a couple months.
