Once upon a time, there was a husband and wife who quarreled frequently. One day, the husband asks his wife for a head massage like he usually did. The wife wondered who gave him head massages before their marriage. The husband replied, “Well, no one did, since there was no headache.”

Physical therapy, while beneficial, is not always great. It can get boring and dull at times. It can cause mild discomfort and pain in some cases. If you’ve been doing physical therapy, you’re probably all too familiar with those feelings. But it’s not all glim. You have scenarios when the patients call their therapist out on being on the wrong side and he just plays it off and tells them,” Oh I know, I just like to have something to compare your other leg too.”

Now, to cheer you up and make your life more humerus, we’ve compiled a list of the best physical therapy jokes. Read on!

A man visits the doctor because he has a history of migraine headaches.

When the doctor conducts his history and physical, he discovers that the poor man has tried nearly every therapy known to man with no improvement. “Listen, I have migraines, too,” the doctor says, “and the advice I’m going to give you isn’t really anything I learned in medical school, but it’s advice I’ve gotten from my own experience. When I have a migraine, I go home and soak in a nice hot bathtub for a while. Then I have my wife sponge me with the hottest water I can stand, concentrating on the area around my forehead. This is somewhat helpful. Then I get out of the tub, take her into the bedroom, and force myself to have sex with her even though my head is killing me. Almost always, the headache goes away right away. Now, give it a shot and come back in six weeks.”

Six weeks later, the patient returns, beaming. “Doc! I followed our advice, and it worked! It truly works! I’ve been suffering from migraines for 17 years, and this is the first time anyone has ever helped me!” “Well, I’m glad I could help,” says the doctor.

The Physical therapist is working with their new patient — a man in his 90’s who has recently started having some falls at home.

The therapist gets the patient to sit on the edge of the low mat and begins taking a history. While the PT starts asking important questions about the patient’s medical history, the patient begins to, very slowly, fall over to the left side. The therapist with lightning-quick reflexes reaches out to provide some assistance and return the patient to upright sitting. Moving on to ask about the patient’s home situation, the PT sees that the patient begins to, very slowly, fall over to the right side. Like a cat, the PT gets up from their rolling stool, puts their arm on the patient’s shoulder and assists him back to upright sitting.

The PT resumes their questions about the patient’s social situation, and whether he has support at home. The patient begins to, very slowly, fall over the left side again. With the reaction time of an experienced professional, the PT once again reaches out and assists the patient back to upright. As the PT returns their eyes to the clipboard, they can hear the patient begin to softly sob.

The PT, trying to be empathic to the situation says “Mr Joseph, I see that you are upset. Will you tell me what’s wrong?”

Mr Joseph replies, “You won’t let me fart!”
