Is it normal to have a lot of pain with physical therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain with PT: No it is not normal to have a lot of pain. The therapist will normally provide modalities for muscle relaxation and pain modulation followed by progressive range of motion and strengthening. Pain relieve helps with the progressive nature of pt. Pain generation during pt inhibits progress.
