How important is physical therapy?!
Question: How important is physical therapy?
They make it sound very important but I feel like it's just all about taking up my valuable time and money.
Answers:
Tough to answer, but PT helped me when I needed it. Your right about the time and money, though. I suggest learning the exercises yourself and get the simple versions of the tools that they use like elastic bands and light weight and do it yourself at home. Remember that while the PT is there to help you, it's also about profit for the company. I keep up my own exercises at home now. That's a lot of time and money saved, but you've got to do the work or you'll lose usability of your shoulder.
