A member asked:
Is it normal for physiotherapy to hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sometimes physiotherapy will hurt. For instance, when doing rehab for a total knee replacement, pt can often be painful. But with time the pain gets better. The same is true when rehabbing an injury. Physical therapists are typically sensitive to your pain and will back off if pushing you too hard however, sometimes the pain is unavoidable if you are going to make progress.
