Every physical therapist has said it, usually one rep into the follow-up visit: I can tell you didn't do your home exercises. The patient swears they did every set. The knee tells a different story. This funny physical therapy shirt says it for you, all day, without a word.
The line sits straight and deadpan in three rows of heavy rounded capitals, full stop and all. Underneath is the proof: the home exercise sheet itself, drawn as clean line art with a folded corner and three stick-figure leg exercises with their little movement arrows, still pristine. Cobwebs stretch across both top corners, and one small wide-eyed spider has moved in on the edge of the page. Thick outlines, two flat inks and not a word of small type.
An easy everyday tee for clinic days, lunch breaks and every re-eval on the schedule.
It makes a great gift for the PT, PTA or DPT student in your life: the new graduate finishing the doctorate this spring, the colleague who hands a fresh sheet to every patient, or the whole clinic for October's PT Month.
Same time next week. Bring the sheet.
