Introduction In this special report written to help “lift the lid on Physical Therapy,” I share with you 35 very common questions, provide answers, offer clarity and debunk myths (…and the skepticism) that many people have and hold concerning the Physical Therapy industry. This special report is for health conscious men and women, serious about their health. Particularly, those who are determined enough to do something about ill health and want to do whatever it takes to find a return to better health. It is compiled from years of taking concerning questions left on my patient message board, inquisitive email replies, questions from people who walk in to out PT clinics in person, those who call in on the phone and even “live chat” their queries to us… and they all have one thing in common: They come from men and women who value their health enough to go out of their way and make a simple inquiry about what they can do about the first signs of ill-health, and more, ASK exactly how Physical Therapy can help them achieve their goal of returning to great health. The questions, and the honest answers which follow, are in no particular order. And I’ll use all the questions as the context for my response about what PT is, and what we can do (for you) here at Power Physical Therapy .
