I find it interesting that it has to be called physical therapy, yet the alternative is not called mental therapy or psychological therapy. It think it makes most sense to have determiners for all of them. That way, things are fully clear. If you want to mention that you’re going to therapy, you also have the availability to specify what kind of therapy. You can also withhold the determiner and leave the audience in suspense as to what kind of therapy you are attending. Perhaps you’ve had a car accident and need to rehabilitate a hip. Perhaps you’re going crazy and need to rehabilitate your brain chemistry and synapses. Perhaps you’re angry because of all the people who have been incredibly mean to you lately, and you need to rehabilitate your relationship with yourself and your self-worth. All should be equally possible when simply saying “therapy”.
And yet, they are not. Very unfair, in my opinion. And, really, bizarre. Why aren’t they all okay to be called “therapy”?(?!?!) And why is only the physical rehabilitation type clarified?(!?!?)
Ugh(!).
Anyway, I’ve finally started pelvic floor physical therapy, and it is helping already with the daily exercises since my initial analysis and examination this past Wednesday. I’m super psyched for the difference this seems like it will make for me over the next few months, and permanently. Super grateful to have sorted this out, at last.
Thank you, God. Amen.
