Description
Rehab patients tend to groan when they see physical therapists coming. After all, the old PT (pain and torture) cliche is not far from the truth. Particularly over the last decade, the protocol for pain management has often been more pain--at least in the eyes of most patients, who must now get up and get moving. Nowadays, bed rest is usually avoided, if possible, and some therapists admit this relatively new paradigm can be a shock to older patients. Mark Christensen, DPT, agrees that pain is increasingly being controlled through exercise, in addition to familiar modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and traction. As patients perceive it, the method is to heap on more pain to get rid of pain.
