About Physical Therapy

I have went thru P.T. a few times and still wonder as to why they even have this therapy for people when I believe that it doesn't work for about 75% of the time.

I know that this is a question that is hard to prove that it works, but I for one feel that it does not work in to many cases...I speak from experience...

WheelBrokerAng...Yes , currently in P.T. myself

I know a few people that said P.T. did not do them any good.
One is in a wheelchair with MS, he says weights at the health spa do him more good.

After I quit teaching 200 years ago, I worked as a PT aide for two years. PT probably at least gets people moving and exercising again after a stroke or a broken limb. The hot packs and the massages feel good and loosen sore muscles. The best thing for a patient to do is get informed about and be open to all therapy possibilities, from PT to chiropractic to shiatsu to acupuncture to herb therapy and other therapeutic solutions.

I am going through P.T. and it is working good for me which is good because I am a runner and I hurt my knee.
