Hate to tell you there is no study that says more PT is better PT. Movement
is important, a PT can set you up with a home program (where to put the
e-stim how to use equipment and an OT can tell you how to use that equipment
to have fun) Who wants to spend all day long in PT? Play in the equipment,
get a riding bike. I know I'm a bit of a heretic here but, really, home
programs are just as important as going to see the PT. Kinda like when we
get older and need to exercise. We don't always have to have a trainer but,
sometimes it helps to get started but, we need to continue on our own.

her back to PT in a hurry. Thanks for your message Peter.
