I believe, and this may be taken as presumptuous, that most medical models do not consider optimizing health.

It is the old adage, we are surviving longer, but is the quality of our mobility and functional capacity at a high level into old age, for example.

The same goes with post fracture rehab. Most believe it is not needed, because the general population doesn't need to do much other than walk.

Unless you are going to be doing something significant, 'other' health professionals will likely not consider referral to physio.

Physio's, will obviously believe otherwise.
