[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 710246, member: 1963"] It might be easier for her, as healing progresses, if she gets an adjustable shower seat. My mother can't take baths anymore, and is afraid of falling in the shower, so she uses a shower seat. I can't take baths because it's a huge production for me to get up in the tub, and very painful. I take showers as well. Another thing, if she doesn't have a high profile toilet, is a raised toilet seat to attach to the regular seat. That may make it easier for her to get up and down. I have done PT on and off for many years. Both to recover from surgery/injuries, and to help with chronic problems. I did experience pain at times, but if I expressed pain, exercises were reduced in intensity or changed. At your mother's age and likely physical condition, she should not be put through serious pain during PT. She needs a therapist experienced with-working with geriatric patients. Last year, I went through PT for my back, and I feel it was rushed. Not only that, I feel it made my back worse, not better. A year later I am still experiencing issues with my back and neck that I attribute to the PT. [/QUOTE]
