Bruises after phyiscal therapist?

I'm just wondering is it normal to have bruises after a visit to a phyiscal therapist (though I do bruise easily anyway!). Just wondering if it is common for it to happen. thanks

Not really although it's not at all uncommon. It depends on what treatment you got, deep tissue massage can cause bruising.
Since you do bruise easily it would explain it. If that's the only side effect I wouldn't worry about it. You can also mention it at your next session.

It takes a lot to bruise me, but I have come out after concentrated physical manipulation.

Not something to worry about in my opinion.

IMO, this is a question for your PT. If you're concerned contact them. Thread locked.
