The Top 10 Indications You May Be Going to the Wrong Physical Therapy Center.

by Michael Rinaldi-- Physical Therapist.  Niles & Boardman, Ohio

10. Your session starts by the therapist's salutation: "Heyyy.. How ya' doing?  Great.  Go ahead and start on the bike."

9. Sharing recipes is part of your regular therapy routine.

8. Walking on a treadmill is part of your treatment for elbow or neck pain.

7. In three weeks of care you've seen the therapist, the assistant, an aide, a student, the maintenance man, and someone named "Murray "---and they all have different ideas about what to do with you.

6. You've heard the phrase, "No pain, no gain", one too many times.   

5. Lots of machines and exercise...but no one putting their hands skillfully on you.

4. You find yourself doing exercises that you could easily be doing at home.

3. You're actually becoming friends with other patients your therapist is sharing your time with.

2. Your doctor sends you to his own therapy so that he can "keep an eye on you." (er, uh...cash flow, that is)

and #1...

You've been going three times a week for four weeks and your still not better!!!

It's time to face the facts.  There are less discretionary dollars floating around the economy right now with the rising cost of everything from gas, food, & healthcare, to college education and virtually anything that contains petroleum or was part of the food chain that has corn as it's lowest common denominator.

If you're going to part with your dollars for health care, then get the most service for your time and money. 

But don't take our word for it, take theirs.
