There are different kinds of PT …i had 2 of the standard ones and now have a PT therapist with extensive osteopathic background …i go every 2 weeks and she really focuses on my exact issue on each visit…the exercises are very gentle and she also works on my back, etc. it’s been a revelation . Fortunately each PT I got helped in its own way…..i also have an osteopath/MD who specializes in hands on manual therapy.
