ventaA quick request for data points (or actual genuine knowledge, that would also work ;)
I've started getting physio for the duff knees (of which more later). I'm pretty sure that, when I was a kid and there was always someone in my class with a pot arm (usually for reasons of a falling-off-bike nature), no one was offered physio afterwards. A friend tells me that he did not get physio for a broken leg in the late 80s. A colleague who fractured both her arms a couple of years ago did.
So... is it that NHS treatment of injuries has moved on and decided that yes, physio is a bloomin' useful part of recovery? Or is it just that physio isn't offered to kids, on the grounds that they're bound to start running about as soon as physically possible?

Date: 2016-03-23 10:44 am (UTC)Yeah - I think having exercises to build up my tendon strength on elbows might have been a good plan! I think it was recommended that I worked on strength when better, but obviously I had better things to do ;) I have stopped showing off my bendy elbows at parties though, since an incident with a fellow bendy when drunk where we both managed to crick our necks at the same time by seeing who could contort the most...
I did have physio on my also hyperflexive legs, which did help a lot (no injury). I think they thought having straight arms wasn't so important as not falling flat on my face fairly regularly.
