Three things I HATE as a physio 🤔
1️⃣“Can I just get a massage for my back pain?”
If your pain keeps coming back, it’s not because you didn’t get enough massage. It’s because nothing changed. Hands-on work can help symptoms. It rarely fixes the cause.
2️⃣ Not doing your exercises.
You can’t out-treatment a body that isn’t being retrained. Rehab is the treatment. The clinic is the guide. The real progress happens at home.
3️⃣ Running on an injury I told you not to run on.
“I’ll just see how it feels.”
That’s how 2 weeks turns into 3 months.
Physio isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about fixing the reason you’re in pain.
