i was supposed to have 6 weeks worth of sessions here but only made it through 5 sessions, and 2 were absolutely awful.
first one, a male PTA pulled my pants and underwear down without giving me any kind of warning while i was laying down on a massage table. there were other patients facing my direction. i was completely exposed and i wanted to say something but froze up. i cried in my car afterwards.
then, after my 5th and last session here, i was in so much pain i had to be hospitalized and ended up missing 2 weeks of work. i never blamed anybody, but i did call the physical therapist because i was scared when i realized i couldn't move. he couldn't be bothered to talk to me (was mostly talking to another patient) and made sure to immediately tell my doctor that they didn't do anything "extreme". this was in 2022 but my back has never been the same since. if anyone reading this has an L5.S1 disc bulge, do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY. try yoga to strengthen your core. read more
