Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi all A while back I posted about physiotherapy - well, I had to postpone the appt until tomorrow afternoon, and before I go to the appt I just wanted to ask the group about a reply I received (posted anonymously below) advising me to avoid traction. I'm posting to the group because I need a quick reply... Could someone tell me what 'traction' means in this context and give me an example of which movements might cause it, because I haven't got a clue, and I really don't want to do something harmful tomorrow. Thanks!

You need to make sure your therapist is aware of your diagnoses because it does make a difference how they should treat you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
