    Physiotherapy. Physical therapy over here, so PT for short.

    NO NO NO!!!! It stands for Physical Torturer. most commonly said phrase is "Let me help you" followed by painful stretches PT's inflict to your body.

    In all honesty though they really do help.

    Luna,

    Wow its wonderful that PT has gotten you back into shape. No more back pain and without pills. Isn't it wonderful to be able to move around without the chest tighening pain in your back. Remeber the exercises so you can do them on your own after PT is over.

    Take care, and many more happy years of pain free back.

    Luna, I am so happy that you are doing better.

    My brother calls us "Physical Terrorists". he used to call me after every PT appointment he had (bad injury to a finger requiring very painful rehab) to b!tch and complain. I was a PT student at the time and somehow this made him feel better.

    I take pride in my ability to cause people excessive amounts of pain that eventually leads to recovery. Call me a sadist, you're porbably right. In a former life, I'm sure I ran a torture chamber.
    Living life like there's no tomorrow.

    Yes I did complain a few times during the stretching they do. Im like "are you sure what your doing is right and my hip is not going to pop out of its socket?" After the traction table I thought they hurt me more as I was unable to stand and then they put me on ice and in 15 minutes I was walking out and sitting in my car pain free! I do the exercises they taught me at home. I stretch and core build.
    The Pt guys are alot of fun(not to metion cute too and tell me I will be so fit when im done with PT.
    One PT found my hips to be a little crooked when I first started, my chiro never mentioned that. He fixed them with a few stretches!
    Yes they do contort me and I ahve called them sadists!
    But I love them! I am on no pain meds, I did like 3 days of celebrex.
    Next week is the dentist..UGH!! now that is the torture chamber for sure!!!
