Broken tibia & fibula, 3.5 months ago, clean snap. I got an intramedullary rod in the tibia, screws at the ankle and knee, and absolutely no recommendations for PT other than some exercises to do at home from the doctor. Everything else seems to have healed well enough, but - my big toe ain't movin', and it's stuck in permanent "up". [more inside]

Need recommendations for a great physical therapist in NYC that is good with hips. I have significant arthritis, despite a preventative major surgery (ganz osteotomy) last year I am "looking forward" to a hip replacement within the next 5 to 10 years. I am 33 and dance in a troupe. Having major trouble finding good therapy and massage that falls within my Aetna hmo. Don't worry about the insurance, I will check that out. Just give me recommendations, pls.

I've thought about physical therapy as a potential profession. What should I know about the field, and what kind of path would I have to take when I have a degree in the arts and have been working a completely unrelated field? [more inside]

Desire to exercise + bad joints = ? . Should I try to find some kind of trainer or sports therapist? Should I look into some kind of machine (I'm considering rowing or eliptical), and if so what do I look for in quality machines? Should I just go to a gym for a few months, try some things on my own and see what feels good? [more inside]
