If you have been to physical therapy, then perhaps you have heard some whispers in the clinic about some common myths about the profession. Or maybe someone has told you some things about physical therapy, and you are not sure what to believe about the profession.
Common P.T. myths:
- Physical therapists and chiropractors don't get along.
- Knee pain is caused by weak quadriceps.
- Your physical therapist lives at the clinic.
Don't lose sleep at night because you are lying awake thinking about these, and other, physical therapy myths. Just check out Physical Therapy Mythbusters, and learn the truth about the profession!
Great article! I have had physical therapy and if I had read this before, I probably wouldn’t have been so anxious. One of my friends in New York has recently been having a lot of knee pain. He was thinking of physical therapy, but do you have any suggestions of where he can get a PT in Rochester, NY?
The APTA website lists physical therapist who are APTA members. You can find one there. Also, the New York Office of Professions lists PTs on their website.
Good luck.
