Pelvic Floor therapy
 


I am in full support of the Board of Physical Therapy continuing pelvic floor therapy as non-invasive. 

I attended the hearing of Scott Roberts and was appalled at the behavior of the board during the hearing towards Scott Roberts in denying him his due process and also their full attention. 

I have been a patient of Scott Roberts since February 2005. Over the years he has saved me from several operations through his knowledge of the human anatomy and how everything is connected. I was in the middle of physical therapy when Mr. Roberts license was pulled and have suffered greatly from this travesty. Roberts Physical Therapy and Massage does not take my insurance supplement. I have paid out of pocket. I knew my issue would be fixed and I would not go anywhere else. After witnessing the Physical Therapy Board at “work” during the hearing, I feel 

they failed  in their purpose not only to me as a patient of Scott Roberts, but all who need a professional like Scott Roberts, who is dependable and gets results that are lasting. The National Library of Medicine lists pelvic floor therapy as non-invasive. It has been considered this for decades. 

Scott Roberts is owed more than an apology on the treatment that he received by the Board and the lack of due process in this whole travesty. It is beyond me to know why one person has been singled out and denied his voice in a profession that he truly loves and understands.
