Comments on: This Is a Physical Therapist? http://dancingwithpain.com/this-is-a-physical-therapist/ Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:33:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rose http://dancingwithpain.com/this-is-a-physical-therapist/comment-page-1/#comment-2769 Rose Thu, 27 Nov 2008 07:56:08 +0000 http://dancingwithpain.com/they-call-this-physical-therapy/#comment-2769 Thanks so much for this discussion of relating to medical "professionals" when you are in pain. As I nurse, I can always use a reminder of how to approach people who are hurting. Also, I believe that listening is the most useful tool of any practitioner. I'm talking about deep listening, with all of your being. That way you are more able to give to others. And it just feels so good to be listened to. I think we are desperate for it. It is such a vulnerable position, to have your body handled as part of someone's work. I wish and pray for relief of your pain, and I am grateful that you are sharing this blog in spite of it.
