Technology has NOW automated physical therapy!!
Automated physical therapy is here! It has been automated by a guy with a PhD. This gentleman is in the big, 'ol state of Texas and has physicians referring patients for his automated physical therapy! I suppose if you invent some machine maybe all the red-tape involved with becoming a licensed professional to USE the thing on the public isn't necessary?
The Dr. Sanker Story - inventor AND treating practioner? What exactly IS he? Amazing to learn that one can go from "invalid" to "athlete" because of the PTA!
Check out the peer-reviewed stuff! (From a guy with a PhD no less!)
You Texan Physical Therapists have some some issues down there that need addressing! Licensing issues (is it really safe for some guy that has a PhD to be delivering supposed physical therapy?), referral issues (why are physicians referring patients to him?), efficacy issues (since when have the magic modalities been THE wonderful component in reaching positive outcomes?).
I certainly hope that I can be publicly humiliated for believing that this "news" is actually true. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I have a big "L" on my forehead!
I couldn't resist posting this link (http://www.museumofquackery.com). If you are ever in Minneapolis and get tired of the Mall of America - take some time at the Science Museum of Minnesota. I am sure they could make some room for this new physical therapy automated (PTA) device. Enjoy the Letterman links.
Cheers,
JW
