PT Confusion
I had my first PT session last week. This was the assessment visit before the real work begins.
The scary thing is that the therapist was asking me questions about the protocol and what I knew about the study. It has me a bit worried that those involved are not in the know. I’m following the UWO protocol (http://www.ejbjs.org/cgi/data/92/17/2767/DC1/1). I sent the therapist this information as well as a link to the study. I hope she had time to do her homework.
The day following the first PT visit I had an appointment with my specialist. He has me pegged as one of “those guys” which asks a lot of questions and does his own research. I had the PT dept. call the specialist to make sure all their ducks were properly lined up. They really didn’t have much to say to each other which also has me wondering.
Seems there is some confusion as to the 2 to 4 week period consist of PT wise. Hydrotherapy? What does that mean? I’m still figuring this all out for myself.
I know normofthenorth has been treated with this protocol. Maybe he and a few others in the group here can shed some light as to what are the PT implementations to the ATR problem at the different stages.
I’m out for now.
Cheers,
Jamie.
