That is AWFUL! I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I don't have a lot of experience with physical therapy...just what I went though for 4 months at the beginning of last year and then the exercises I continued to do on my own. But I know that when I went to PT, they began my routine with an ultrasound, then I did a bunch of exercises with the stretch bands, and we gradually worked up from there. Even when we moved to a more difficult routine we always started with the ultrasound followed by the stretch bands. And then we ended everyday with heat and stim (TENS).

Sounds like your therapist was not very professional (not having your plan ready so that you could ask questions and then the sad excuse for a plan you got at the end). Maybe I was spoiled...but if I had had to go through what you went through I probably wouldn't have been able to get through more than a day of it.

Hope things get better for you.
