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

10. As someone who keeps breaking bones, I have been a PT patient for many years now.

With different PT companies and physical therapists.

Some PTs are more like cruel drill sergeants who scream and yell to the point I have been in tears.

This is abnormal and abusive. And potentially dangerous.

When I looked for new PTs I speak to the manager and state I will not put up with anyone yelling, bullying or putting his hands on me harshly.

I don't mind working hard, don't mind some pain, or being uncomfortable. But I am not going to be yelled at and used as a punching bag.

1. I suggest you report his therapist to management. This needs to be addressed.
2. This therapist is especially dangerous given this patient is frail and 90 yrs of age.
3. You are not overacting at all, it is horrifying.
4. The family needs to ask for another therapist. Ask for someone kind and gentle.
