I have a male PT working on my knee (post knee replacement). He's very interested in physically pushing my knee to increase range of motion. (I like on my back and pull my heel as close to my rear as possible.) I am 6 degrees short of where he wants me to be. At first he said, "You get there yourself and I won't push you." He upped the ante recently and when I told him I was very aware of my pain limits and how much *I* was able to push beyond them, he suggested I "ask my husband to push my knee." Dh said "No way. I won't hurt you."
Went back yesterday and told him that while I think he's a good PT and that I like working with him, I have decided that he will not be pushing my knee." He was sort of OK with it, but couldn't resist saying "Well, if you don't get to full range of motion, it's on you. And I'll tell your doctor."
What would you do?
