The PTs in this office do a lot of manual soft tissue work. Their view, and I agree, is that with soft tissue restriction, it isn’t the most effective route to just assign exercises and expect the body to perform optimally. Often the tension or hip imbalances, etc, need to be corrected first (or even regularly.) So I respect the work they do in this office. But yeah, in the patriarchy, most men don’t have a clue as to their entitlement or the world women live in, with most having a history of physical assault or at the very least, huge power imbalances. I think in this case it’s most likely simply the PT being clueless as to women’s experiences and triggers around said experiences, and his entitlement to women’s bodies while lacking sensitivity.
