husband injured his back at work, he was out of work for a few weeks and recieved workman’s comp. then he was released back to work on light duty. he has been going to physical therapy 3 times a week for 2 months and has recieved 3 (maximum per year!) cortisone shots and is still in so much pain he can hardly move sometimes! it hurts him to sit or stand to long, his restrictions are no standing for long periods, no heavy lifting, squatting, bending, repetitive motion, or walking long distances. he is a custodian at a local high school and his light duty is cleaning all desks and chairs, walking the campus of the school to different class rooms etc. his sick and vacation days kicked back in july 1st, and when he wanted to use a sick day last week – because he woke up and could hardly move! – they said he couldn’t, he had to take a dock day because he was on work restricton!!! this makes NO sense to us! why can’t he use his sick day???

What does massage therapist does in a physical therapist or similar establishment? I know what they do at spas, but what are their duties at the physical therapist’s office? Is it just massage before treatment by physical therapist or some extra duties are expected from massage therapists?
Please, I need as much information as possible. Thank you in advance
