A GI has suggested a regiment for my crohns of physical therapy. I have been on infusions for a 18 months with some success. They are looking to justify taking me off something that's working and have argued this may work. I do not like leaving infusions for something less likely. When I suggested both I was told that could not be done. I am interested in anyone perspective Thank You

Hi Bill - I have heard physical therapy or exercise in general is good for overall health - and maybe can help symptoms a bit, mostly pelvic floor problems - but is the GI indicating that physical therapy will replace your biological medicine? I have never had a doctor recommendation something like that. Doug
Yes , he suggested it may be helpful as opposed to the infusion of Entyvio which has been somewhat helpful. I would be grateful if anyone has thoughts about this suggestion. Thanks to all who reply
Bill, this seems ...unusual. Perhaps he could point to a scientific study demonstrating the value of physical therapy in your circumstances? In any case, stopping a treatment that is working, even if not perfectly, ought to be thought through pretty carefully.
