A question for anybody in physical or occupational therapy, please. If you have a client

18. They should know better, a 90 yr old frail person is not training to be a football linebacker.

They should have known what kind of treatment plan to use. And what kind of style to use.

This is a person who needs gentle manipulation or exercise. And someone kind and patient.

One time I was in a rehab facility for 6 weeks with patients older than myself.
I was shocked to see the older patients treated badly like you describe because they could not complain.

Get a different therapist or different PT company. Let them know what you expect.
And then keep an eye on things.

There are wonderful PTs who have literally enabled me to walk today.
I have had enough fractures that my ability to walk was in question.
I credit the PTs for getting me back on my feet and I now walk two miles a day.
And the PTs were pleasant, positive, encouraging.

Yes I know they can be tough taskmasters, and keep prodding me when I want to give up.
And sometimes it hurts a lot. But if you trust the PT and you know they are on your side you are OK with it.
But as I am a younger than the patient you describe.
