If you are going to John, Rob Fay or any other physical therapist at Armonk Physical Therapy and Sports, or at any other therapy business, then it is advisable to ask your doctor to precisely write research-supported, science and evidence-based techniques, and specific techniques that are appropriate and safe for you, and those which are inappropriate and injurious to you, so that John will strictly adhere to your doctors instructions which must be based upon real, strong studies that list all indications, contraindications, and injury potential for any therapeutic modality. The HSS list for Armonk physical therapy lists Graston Technique: you should sign informed consent waiver to this, if it is suggested, because it causes severe bruising and there is no endorsement by any dermatology and orthopedic board.
John and Rob have used belts to pull femurs from the acetabuli while twisting the hips of patients. This Maitland Kaltenborn hip and joint traction method does not have any real study with cadavers, imaging, and force gauges to explore the full injury potential. Instead, it is based upon opinions and really weak articles and studies-not proof, and there is always the potential for it to tear apart hips, causing other joints to twist apart. John twisted time and his mind around by pre-planning this hip pulling and twisting for a patient in an indiscriminate, random, unexplained, impulsive way, causing injuries. You should go to John and Armonk Physical Therapy Sports for physical therapy and bring a witness/iPhone to ensure that John adheres to your doctors instructions because he evades describing his rationale which is disconcerting to all patients.
He is probably better than most therapists so dont bother going elsewhere-there are plenty of other therapists, who also use unstudied techniques on patients, or who have misconceptions about the strength of studies and who do not make use of research scientists.
There is not enough collaboration among orthopedists, therapists, patients, and those who make the codes of conduct for therapists. In general, the physical therapy profession is a bit out of control in its quickness to incorporate invented techniques without enough study to ensure that patients will never be injured in any therapy setting. Rather that suppress this or blame patients for revealing this and wanting safer care and all therapists, everywhere, to take responsibility for injuring patients, it would be in the interest of all to explore it, and increase the standard of care within the entire profession to eliminate all injury potential during therapy. Hip surgeons should not have to repair damage by therapists.
