Any Physical therapists here..??

[Maistre Gracey]

Started PT today for a left knee injury.
I somewhat understand the massaging the back and elbow as explained, but why am I pushing weights with my RIGHT knee/leg ..??

I will ask in two days when I return, but I’m sure (hoping) there is a logical answer.

Probably to strengthen it so that you don't overexert it compensating for the left.

Hope you feel better soon!

Probably noticed the other side was showing signs of strain from the balancing the injured side, stuff happens.

I seriously jacked up my knee from wearing one of those braces that stabilize a foot on the same side, wish I never wore it, the crutches helped more and didn't hurt anything. Drs should warn people, they do not.

I’ve been in Physical Therapy for a couple of weeks for my knee.
Not sure if anyone here has been through a PT rehab, but it’s truly a form of mid-evil torture.
