Setting expectation : Physical Therapy is not Spa

I started Physical Therapy last week to fix a knee pain have been ignoring for too long now. My expectations were completely off.

I was expecting a spa session with massage and relaxation.
I had painful exercises to strengthen my quads, bruising deep tissue massage and annoying tingling electrical stimulation.

It's obvious that the key of successful project at work is to set the right expectation. This needs to be applied to other field.

I'm 100% sure my first session would have been much better if I knew what was going to happen to me. Obvious but need to be repeated.
