Physiotherapy - WTF?

[TheShadow]

So i injured myself and my Doc sent me to a phsyio therapist for rehab work.

Seriously, she prints off sheets of exercises for me to do and they are actually from universities and medical programs that are available on line.

I've actually found the same instructional stuff on YouTube.

Now my Doc wants me to go there so he gets their progress reports but seriously, my benefits package is paying for this?

I like the lady and am doing the work but I kinda think someone is getting ripped off here.

Am I wrong?

My physio actually works on my body as well as giving me exercises. Get a different physio.

I had a similar situation when I injured my knee last year. My doc sent me to sherwood park physiotherapy and like you, I was handed a bunch of exercises that seemed to be straight from the internet.

No, I'm thinking of blowjob therapy. But it's cute that you don't know the difference.

Army Physio-therapy

Sergeant: What's wrong with you?
Soldier: I hurt my back.
Sergeant: Get down and give me twenty more.

The thing is, those exercises are tailored to your specific injury and recovery needs. The guys from sherwood park physiotherapy kept track of how I was progressing, and they can tweak things if necessary.

Soft tissue damage is far worse than broken bones. There are no pills, lotions, injections or magic beans. Activity and pushing beyond the pain is the only out.
