I didn't mean for my post to sound like there are no situations where PT is helpful. After my surgeries PT was very helpful to get back to full mobility, though once I know what the end goal is I prefer to do my own programming.
I did have multiple situations though were the doctor I was seeing was reluctant to move things ahead to the surgery track and I was given useless PT to perform which just wasted time. It's a situational thing just like most things and the more you educate yourself the better you can advocate for yourself.
