Dr. Giotikas patients do a lot of physio during lengthening period irrespective of LL method (I am just not sure how about Precise patients). I know that Guichet is also a fan of hard trainings. What about other doctors? Is physio during lengthening a common practice?

It is the most important component.

You cannot do limb lengthening without dedicating a lot of time to physio.

Lack of physio will fail treatment

Just to be 100% sure - you are talking about lengthening period, right? Not a consolidation period?

But I've read dozens of diaries and I am not sure if all these guys were doing physio during lengthening... Or maybe they just didn't emphasize that.

In what way?  I and many other Beijing patients did very little physio.  They even fired their physiotherapists and converted half the gym into something else while I was there.

you must have done the physio after your lengthening phase, also doing very little physio during that phase could be the reason you are experiencing stiffness after 12 years. lack of physio could cause:
muscle contractures,
muscle atrophy
nerve damage
excessive pain
stiffness
poor callus formation
