A rhetorical question
A favorite question of mine is- if you a patient has say LBP
or PA shoulder should the patient be seen by a therapist and asked to get an
appointment for 5- 10 days or get a package ( up to 15000rs in chennai) until
endpoint of the disease or pain.
The question is why should they attend a PT department
daily rather than taking some pain killer and doing the exercise at home if
needed? Isn’t it cheaper to spend 20 rs on some NSAIDS and do some exercise at
home!
Here are some of the answers I have got from PTs. They have
to attend a PT session because of-
1. Is it
because- supervised exercise is needed or more important?
2. US, SWD,
IFT, manual therapy is better than NSAIDS
3. The adverse
effects are less in PT than drugs (really)
4. Others-
