Dr. Rehab

Los Angeles, CA

Female, 31

I'm a practicing PT with a Doctorate for the past 4 years now. Although it may not seem like a long time, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in various PT settings. I've worked anywhere from outpatient therapy, home health, aquatic therapy, inpatient rehab, and private clients. I now also instruct on an online prep course for graduates seeking to pass their National Board Examination. PT is a very rewarding job, but can also SUCK, which explains my quest to find the ideal situation

Can a pt and patient legally become friends? My 5 month rehab for a pt knee replacement ended. My pt and I had formed what seemed like a friendship type connection. I asked abt staying in contact post-pt as friends and was turned down. Disappointed

My question involves a book character: Pt. is a 13 yr. old male with a type 3 lateral compression fracture of the pelvis from a bicycle/mv accident. When can PT begin? What exercises? When can weight-bearing begin & how is it performed? More details?

I am 30 years old, healthy weight and fairly active. I just finished a third round of PT that lasted 10 months to help the chronic lower back pain and sciatic pain/SI joint pain that I've had since 18 when I ruptured l4, l5. Ever since my lower back "goes out" at least once a year. I've seen 3 different PTs and it had gotten somewhat better on a day to day basis but when I stand with my feet straight pointing forward, my pelvis and torso twists to the right. The lower right side is the side that goes out. I finally went 2 years instead of 1 without an episode and lo and behold it went out 4 days ago despite religiously doing my exercises and frequent dry needling of the QL muscles. My PT didn't have an answer as to why this would still happen. What are your thoughts? Is my QL just too scarred up and beyond help? Is that what is causing my rotated torso and pelvis? What should I do from here?

I have a situation. I'm 60, retired at 54 and now I want to go back to work. Every place I've applied, they say JAHCO doesn't allow them to hire unless you(I) have worked w/in last 2 yrs? Now that SUCKS! Any creative ideas? Seems kinda discriminatory

Hi, I am a runner and have been training for track season for a few months now. I have only been doing 1-3 miles. Then this past Saturday I went with a running group and had me go 7miles. Now my shins are hurtin and I positive it is shin splints because I have had then before. Should I stop running for a few days or should I just do light runs. I don't want it to turn into a stress fracture and end my season what should I do.
