I heard about a case where in a physical therapy clinic, the equipment wasn't properly maintained. A patient using a leg - extension machine had it break while they were in the middle of a set. It not only scared the patient but also led to a minor injury on their thigh. The clinic didn't seem to take proper responsibility at first and tried to blame it on the patient's usage.
One horror story is when a patient went for physical therapy after a knee surgery. The therapist was very rough and pushed the knee joint too hard during a manipulation. It caused extreme pain and actually set back the patient's recovery. Instead of getting better, the swelling increased and it took weeks longer to heal.
One horror story is when a therapist was extremely rough during a home session. They didn't listen to the patient's pain signals and pushed too hard on an injured joint, causing more damage instead of helping with the recovery.
A war veteran with multiple limb injuries. Physical therapy was crucial for him. The therapists focused on building his strength, balance, and coordination.

This story highlights how physical therapy can help those with complex injuries.
Sure. A friend of mine went for physical therapy for a back problem. The therapist didn't listen to her when she said a particular exercise was causing too much pain. The therapist insisted she keep doing it. Eventually, she ended up with a muscle strain on top of her original issue.
Often, there are issues with communication. The therapist may not explain the procedures clearly, leaving the patient confused and scared. Also, issues related to cleanliness. If the therapist doesn't keep their equipment clean, it can pose a risk to the patient's health.
There was a runner who had a severe ankle sprain. Physical therapy was focused on ankle stability exercises and cryotherapy. The runner was very dedicated to the therapy sessions. As a result, the ankle healed much faster than expected, and the runner was back on the track competing in races in no time. This shows how effective physical therapy can be when done right.
There could be a fanfiction where Edward enters physical therapy not just for a physical ailment but also to deal with some emotional trauma. The therapy sessions become a place of self - discovery for him. For example, through the physical challenges in therapy, he starts to face his inner fears and insecurities. The therapist could be a guiding figure who helps him make connections between his physical and emotional states.
One horror story is about a young gay man who was sent to conversion therapy by his religious parents. He was constantly told that his feelings were wrong and sinful. They used methods like isolation and forced religious study. He became severely depressed and even had suicidal thoughts.
One horror story could be that in some cases, ABA therapy was overly focused on compliance rather than the child's emotional well - being. For example, a child was constantly forced to sit still and follow rigid instructions without any room for self - expression. This made the child extremely stressed and withdrawn.
One horror story could be about incorrect pellet placement. For example, if the pellets are placed too close to a nerve during pellet therapy for prostate issues.

Well, in some wilderness therapy horror stories, there have been instances of improper medical care. For example, a teen with a pre - existing medical condition had an episode in the wilderness. But the on - site 'therapists' were not equipped to handle it. They didn't have the proper medications or a way to quickly evacuate the patient. Another story involves a participant being left alone in the wilderness as a form of 'punishment' which led to a near - death experience from exposure.
