I’m 24 weeks pregnant with scoliosis, sciatic nerve damage, and an autoimmune disorder that effects my joints. My midwife referred me to physical therapy but I’m a little scared. Today is my first appointment and I’m a little nervous about what all she’ll make me do and how much pain I’ll be in afterwards.

I had surgery four years ago and had to travel in a car shortly thereafter. I think the travel may have affected the incision’s healing and now I have a non-painful hernia right in the middle of my abdomen. I have been excersicing but avoiding sit-ups and crutches. Is there and non-invasive physical therapy to help this?

My friend thinks she has spinal stenosis (it runs in her family.) However, she can’t afford health insurance and doesn’t know of any treatments for it. Is there any physical therapy she could do on her own? Maybe even a special diet? I will be surprised if anyone can answer this one!

I was wondering because my doctor referred me to physical therapy, but she also said that I could get injections too. For those who do not know what sciatica is, it is the strain of the sciatic nerve that travels from your back, through your leg, to your foot causing sever pain, numbness, and tingling in your foot.

The Ortho took the MRI, decided to try Physical therapy twice a week for a month. Going back Nov. 11th, with likelihood of surgery. Therapist said i can still work out, just alter the workouts. So now I’m riding the bike, no more treadmill, trying eliptical. Anyone have any thoughts besides the strength building i do in therapy and at home now?

I broke my femur september 10 in the football accident. I’ve been likely to physical therapy twice a week for close to Two months. I can bend my leg close to 110 degrees. Another I could possibly get 135. It is really a struggle to obtain to 110 degrees although. The physical therapists say I’ve 3 choices. Begin likely to physical therapy each day, get closed manipulation (anesthesia), or even a brace I can use myself to bend my knee. Which ought to I do.

I am a college student who is interested in becoming a physical therapist. I have read that students need to obtain a bachelors degree before being accepted into a physical therapy program at a university. What I am wondering is this. Would it be possible to be accepted into a physical therapy program if I first obtain a degree in something completely different like interior design or multimedia art? In other words, does what kind of bachelors degree you have matter when applying to a physical therapy program if you have taken all of the preliminary science classes? Thanks for any answers!

I am a Chinese majoring in Nursing and have got my bachelor’s degree in Medical Science in China. And this fall, I am going to join a PhD program in Rehabilitation Science (not physical therapy) of a university in U.S. But I think it would be much better to have a clinical license in this field. So can anyone tell me whether I can get a license of physical therapy in U.S., and how? Thanks!
