I am normally an upbeat optimistic guy-probably because I seldom watch the news and the news that I read is in RSS chunks.  However, pessimism has prevailed recently in the PT news department.

First we had our hoola hoop experience.

Then we had a “proactive” PT group that believes PT’s sole purpose is home exercise programs and is so “concerned” about co-pays that they are posting their exercises so that patients can come in for fewer visits.

And, just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, we now have Wii games in rehab clinics which appeared in USA Today).  Wonder who wins between the PT’s and OT’s?  (BTW, please send me the CPT codes for the golf game which is my favorite).

Is there any wonder we have credibility problems?

Thoughts?
