I took PT for about 3 weeks until I found out everything they showed me to do was available on YouTube, of course with the condition I had linked to it so I knew what to do.
Also the instructor was ticked off at me for refusing their ice pack / NSAIDS sugguestion and arguing that reducing inflammation actually makes your injury worse, as infammation is the body's way of delivering more blood flow to an injury. They no likey and told me "I went to school a long time for this!"
haha
Yes but the body always OVERDOES inflammation though. Here's why:
It can't tell the skin wasn't opened.
So it floods the area with microbe-killing cells just in case. Also substances that increase fluids to the area to wash away the microbes that AREN'T THERE because the skin wasn't broken. Had it been, the fluids could escape.
So, reducing swelling, pain and stiffness using RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) during PT means a joint can get its full range of motion sooner, and quality of life can improve sooner too!
Really! I did not know this. So the body is half-retarded kek.
Makes me feel a bit bad for giving the PT a hard time now :/
Ty for the info!
