Physical Therapy vs. Shots and pills

Ok - so my "Guitar Elbow" was a lot worse than I thought. I could lift a 50 lb. speaker cabinet, but couldn't squeeze toothpaste! The anti-inflammatories and cortizone shot were not much help. 3 weeks of stretches, exercises and electro-therapy have made a world of difference. One more week and I'm done. I don't like to use my website as a forum for my personal problems, but I do have a point to make. Why are we (all people) not taught these simple skills as a part of growing up. A simple regimen of stretching and light exercise could be the proverbial "apple-a-day." Anyone can do it, and if everyone did, It would save a lot in doctors' visits and medicines.
