Personal Beliefs In Physical Therapy

My personal beliefs are that you are coming to therapy because you want to get better or maintain the function that you are at risk of losing. I hope that everyone that is coming to clinic wants to come and will be willing to participate in the clinic. I believe there is always something more a person can do, by doing an extra rep or doing a work out a second time a day.
