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

I had 3 right hip operations in less then 3 months last year. I limp quite a bit because 1 leg is almost 1 inch shorter. It causes me a lot of back & neck pain. Would wearing a heel lift help?

Tarsal Tunnel. My podiatrist gave a cortisone shot and said come back 4 weeks. My research says to have PT. Found some exercises to do on my own but my feet feel worse than before I did them. Is that normal to feel that way when first starting PT

I had a total hip replacement 10 years ago and recently began a new exercise routine (with a trainer) that involves using Nautilus machines. I'm concerned about using the leg press ... also, abductor and adductor machines. While the trainer says she knows what she's doing and there is no pain or discomfort, I remain concerned whether or not this is something I should be doing.The machines are very heavily weighted and exercises are done very slow - about 5-6 repetitions. Thanks in advance for your response.
