Physical Therapist

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

What kind of paperwork do you do as a physical therapist?

Asked by Omar Elgaouni over 9 years ago

I am 21 years old and have pulled by back out twice. 2 years ago and 9 months ago, both while working out. On both occasions, I went to the emergency room. I have been to countless doctors, physical therapists, and massage therapists and still to this date, for the most part, my lower back is still tight and sometimes pain. I have had CT scans, MRIs, and am convinced that my condition is the result of a muscle problem. I have been stretching and working on my core; yet, massages have been the most helpful. But, still I feel as if that just “puts a bandage” on the problem, rather than just finding the cause of my issue. I have noticed that my butt also feels extremely tight, especially the muscles right above my butt on both sides. Also, I noticed that when I sit, my thighs are extremely tight. It hurts when I arch my back and sometimes when I bend forward. I usually work out five times a day. Recently, I after working out (cycling and elliptical), my tightness and pain have been worse. Can someone help me?
