It's true about doing my own pt, occasions arise all day and I try to make the most of them.

It's amazing what exercises you can do at home with a chair, a flight of stairs, some woods to walk in,a bag of potatoes and a bed.
It's the UK practice to NOT use PT's either at home or in hospital, and it seems to work a treat. We just seem to recover steadily without major difficulties. I can't be sure, but the gentle approach seems to reduce the reliance on pain meds much earlier than using the "torturer" type of PT. I'd stopped using pain killers after about 4 weeks, but still take a low dose of anti-inflammatories (because I still abuse my knee after 7 months)
