Q- How do I know if I am getting better?

A- You know when you are getting better by the size of the smile on your Physical Therapist's face when they greet you. Usually the size of the smile is directly correlated to how good you are making him or her look by following their directions to a tee. The better you look, the better we look. Only kidding. Depending on your diagnosis, you should feel one or more of the following: decreased pain, increased range-of-motion and/or increased strength. You will probably notice that you can do more at home with greater ease and less pain.
