freckle1,
Yes! After my hip replacement, the PT at clinic asked me to demonstrate how I got myself up from floor. This meant first getting on the floor. I said,”Now?” He said, “Yes.”
I knew I could do it, but it looks incredibly awkward.
PT wanted some work on my technique, but two other patients were more positively impressed and said that they couldn’t do step 1 - getting on floor.

I would imagine the look you gave that PT Is similar to the one my neurologist or neurosurgeon gets when asking me to stand on one foot. They do give me a hand for support.
