Well truthfully I'm not sure what you are complaining about. Are you complaining about being injured? Because you are responsible for that and if you don't except that you are not super-human but in fact, have "average" capacity for your tendons and ligaments to recover from whatever stimulus, you will continue to be injured. If you don't know how to balance programming over the long haul...likewise.
Like triggey said, who should you be compared to. I don't think they have a superman scale.
I don't know what the physiotherapist meant but when people say "average" they usually mean in terms of genetic potential. They don't mean you in your current state as compared to others in their state. LOL, being above average in terms of fitness doesn't mean you are an above average human being. Anybody can lift weights if they choose to. If you're above average in terms of dedication that doesn't mean that you're joints will always see it you way.
It really has to do with the metabolic potential of you joint tissues as opposed to your muslces. If you are in a state of diminishing recovery and mounting fatigue the tendons, ligaments, etc will be very likely to be the first injured simply because they always recover more slowly anyway. As I've said again, and again, and again, most of these injuries are NOT cause by lifting one heavy weight. If your therapist thinks that then she is dead wrong. Most of them are caused by imbalances coupled with overuse. Period. As the weight gets heavier you see the results simply because the body reaches a threshold...but it would have happend sooner or later if changes weren't made.
No matter what kind of shape you are in you can still exceed recovery capacity. You can still train wrong. If you have the attitude that you are invincible then in the long run you will have many more setbacks. Sorry, bro, but your are, most likely, average. So am I. So are most of us. That is, after all, what average means. If there wasn't a such thing as average and it didn't include most of us, then you wouldn't have much need for forums.
But I agree about the whole 'average person's joint's thing'. That doesn't make any sense. But I still don't understand what exactly the complaint is. Do you want her to tell you, oh, Kane, you are so bad-ass, the universe must be against you for this to happen! Doesn't matter about the average person's joints. It only matters about yours and you injured yours so.....

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
