Physical Therapy

According to the prescription, I have 5 more visits left to learn how to exercise to keep my back
muscles strong so that my lower back issues will be minimized and quite possibly never return...  I was also told today that the kind of policy that I have and the company providing that policy I no longer have to visit a back specialists in order to go to a Physical Therapy Center for therapy...  it would appear that the Center can initiate the action.


It would be my take that it is cheaper to simply go to a therapist than to get referred to a therapist by a specialist who is probably going to send the person there anyway.  It also seems that this could be manipulated very easily by the therapist so I wonder how long it will last.

My back problems were not caused by my cancer treatments directly but my cancer treatments encouraged my arthritis to worsen which in turn caused my lower back and shoulder issues.  However, had I not had any cancer treatments, my arthritis would have worsened on its own so I would actually be in the same situation I am in today...  but maybe a few years later...  but, what the hell...  it would have happened to me sooner or later....  it is just part of getting old.
