3 Reasons PT Didn’t Work For You 🤷🏼♂️
1. You weren’t challenged
- Simply put, your rehab was too easy or focused too heavily on passive treatments. If you’re an athlete or highly active individual then your rehab needs to challenge your tissues in a way that will prepare you to handle to loads encountered in your sport or activity.
2. You weren’t consistent
- It doesn’t work if you don’t do the work. To create lasting change you need to be consistent with your homework and with your sessions. This allows you and your PT to continue to assess, modify, and progress your plan to ensure you are moving in the right direction or pivot if you aren’t.
3. You stopped when the pain was gone
I know this one sounds like BS but just because you aren’t feeling better doesn’t guarantee that your tissues are ready to meet the demands of your sport or activity. We see this scenario all too frequently. You get injured, you come to PT, you start feeling better, then you go right back to the same intensity of activity that you didn’t when you got injured. This leads to a continuous cycle of injury, pain, and missed time doing what you love. Getting out of pain is the first piece in the puzzle. Making sure it never returns is the real magic.
Any of this reasons feel familiar?
If so, it might be time to try a different approach.
