If I were you, I would ask for someone else for your PT. No reason for you

to put up with this!

I agree with . Your PT is for you, to help you. My PT told me over and

over again no one can compare you to anyone else but yourself as each person

is different. That's why they do the measurements. It sounds like your PT

is not doing the best care for you. I'd ask for a different person and even

tell the office that I wanted someone that is more care and that had better

English. You need to be able to understand what they want you to do.

hi that's so wrong.....Everyone heals diffently and each case is different...I

think sometimes they forget to compassionate to their patients....You might have

better luck in the out patient..tell them what's you feel, they should also send

you a questionaire how she did???? I was lucky and had a great home base therapy

and out pt, ask for pool therapy, it works wonders and you feel better less sore

...good luck...kim

I agree - you deserve a PT you can talk to. That's just wrong. I love my guy. He

answers questions (I had LOTS), he is patient, he encourages me - " one more step,

ok? you can do it " , He is personable without getting icky, and I trust him. You

deserve to have all that. I'm sorry it's not going well - I'm in a (very minor)

snit today - send me the number & I'LL straighten this out for you! <grin>

Good luck (seriously)
