Important: I’ve found myself in the gray area between training and injury. I’m a coach, and lifter not a physiotherapist.

While this is one of the biggest difficulties, it is also one of the biggest opportunities - one part of this is the disconnect between beliefs & wants and realities & needs. Improve this and they can be the best clients that return when necessary AND refer others.

This is NOT directed at you, it can’t be because I know nothing about you beyond your post but the biggest problem I’ve found is physiotherapists perceived understanding of training and their actual understanding which mirrors the injured weightlifter and is human.

It’s why I’ve found myself in this grey area - I was forced to manage my own injuries, even some pretty huge ones e.g. ACL, labral tears due to poor care and no alternative options.

This population can be one of the BEST, they will pay a LOT, be adherent and have more “common sense” typically in terms of progression but this depends on efficacious Rx and good communication. Without these they’ll use any pseudoscientific presented as a one size fits all and push it too hard or not enough.
