My experiance with pt was fairly similar. First time was ok, second time was unruly, and it got worse from there. You need to stand up and put your foot down. I wish i had, the wrong pt set my back quite a bit. Now going through it at home with a much lighter pace, and am slowly but surely seeing improvement, with minimal extra pain.

If they wont listen maybe you should find another pt place.

Good luck, and my prayers for your little girl.
