If you’ve ever gone to physical therapy and felt bored, frustrated, or discouraged – you’re not alone.
A lot of people leave PT thinking, “This just didn’t work for me.”
After an injury, movement can feel scary, and you might not trust your body the way you used to.
But PT should be the place where that fear starts to fade – not grow.
In a way, PT can actually be fun, because you’re doing things you haven’t done in a while!
You’re relearning how to move, building confidence, and you have someone right there encouraging you – reminding you what your body can do.
At the same time, PT should gradually challenge you.
Because if your goal is to run, jump, lift, or even go up the stairs without pain, your rehab should reflect real life.
So if PT didn’t help you in the past, it doesn’t mean you failed – it may just mean you weren’t challenged in a way that matched the things you love to do.
You deserve PT that helps you trust your body again – and maybe even enjoy the process along the way ☺️
