I haven't slept and I'm MAD.
While the not sleeping thing was self-inflicted, the result is still the same: I'm mad (tired, grumpy, vague).
So I thought it was a good idea to let it all hang out right here and share with you some of my favourite PT pet peeves.
Attitude to technique.
You would be surprised at the amount of attitude we get when trying to correct technique. I wish to caveat that statement and say that it's not unsolicited advice – that is, we're not just approaching randoms as they do their own thing on the gym floor.
I cannot tell you over my career how often I have gotten filthy looks, completely ignored, or argued with as I try to advise technique that will make the movement more comfortable, effective and saves your knees, back and shoulders from a lifetime of agony, misery and medical bills.
I can definitively tell you this, PTs will stop approaching you to help correct technique after one or two of these instances, so if you are lamenting why during your session you aren't receiving assistance, as Tom Cruise famously said: "put your manners back in."
Side note: watch how the horoscopes work out. Story continues after video.
