At my first appointment, the therapist said that she could only evaluate me, not treat me. But that might have been my insurance.
I tried to call back and make another appointment, and several times I couldn’t get through, and I just got a recording saying that their message inbox was full. This is during normal 9 – 5 business hours on weekdays, by the way.
Finally I got an appointment (at which point they insisted on booking me for 5 appointments to use up my physical therapy benefit with my health insurance). The PT told me to do 25 repetitions on each side of various exercises that were straight out of Jane Fonda. They were hard to do, so I’m sure they are appropriate, and I will do them, but they were totally from Jane Fonda’s Workout Book. As I did the exercises, she would wander off and tend to another patient, or just write.
I’ve been to physical therapy a few times over my lifetime, so I expected to get a sheet that listed the exercises and number of repetitions, and she wouldn’t give me one. She said that I should have been taking notes, and she wouldn’t even tell me the name of the exercises because I should write it in «patient language» (Is that like baby language?), and she couldn’t tell me the names of the exercises because they were complicated names like «Bridge» and «SLR» that I wouldn’t be able to understand. I looked up SLR on the physical therapy site on about dot com, and it stands for «straight leg raise». That’s highly technical.
I saw other people in the room (everyone was getting physical therapy in the same room, which was kind-​of interesting, like one patient was picking up marbles with her toes), and about half of them were being ignored by their physical therapist and just doing exercises on their own.
