I work with two little boys who are disabled one of them is able to walk, while the other is not, currently we are trying to strengthen their trunks to help them maintain and gain balance as well as attempting to strengthen their arms and help them use their hands does anyone know of any sites where I can get any information on physical therapy exercises that I can do with them to help them achieve these goals? Anything you may know would be a huge help! Thanks!

I have severe chronic upper and lower back pain, as well as occasional migraines. I’m only 18 and it’s probably not going to get any better. Some days it’s get enough that it’s difficult to get out of bed. In the past it has affected my ability to attend school (I recently dropped out of college majorly due to poor attendance because of it), and my doctor refuses to prescribe me anything other than anti-inflammatory medications, because he is afraid that my emotional disorders will make me likely to abuse the medications and become addicted. I AM currently in physical therapy, which has helped, but it continues to be a struggle and to hinder my everyday life. I’m desperate to find something stronger that will actually lessen or get rid of my pain, and I’ve heard that Oxycontin is one of the strongest pain medications out there. If anyone can tell me of websites that offer Oxycontin or something along those lines without a previous prescription from a doctor or without having to physically go to a pharmacy, I’d love to know.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

I just graduated from physical therapy in Colombia and I´d like to know where can I keep studying. Exercise science would be great. Thanks 
I see people espousing the benefits of universal health care all the time. They talk about how great this is and that is, but it seems like none of them have ever lived anywhere where they actually have the system.
I lived in a country with socialised medicine for the first 30 years of my life, and it was not all it’s cracked up to be. And there are some benefits. Emergency problems are taken care of right away, and they are taken care of well. The problem is is that you have to go by the government’s definition of “emergency” and not your own. My father needed a knee replacement a few years ago, but the government did not think it was an “emergency” and they said that physical therapy and pain killers would suffice. There were 2 doctors who said he needed a replacement, but another said that it was not necessary. So he lived in pain until it was too much to take and took out a loan and paid for it out of pocket.
And for instance, I take medications for a medical condition. Some of the treatments cause males to develop breasts and others don’t. The ones that don’t cause males to develop breasts are generally newer and cost more so the government has only approved them for people who have failed other treatments. But I don’t want to develop male breasts, so I had to pay for the drug out of pocket.
I moved to the USA and I love my health insurance plan.
Are most people who hail socialised medicine as the next best thing even aware of it’s downsides? Most of them appear to have no idea what they are even talking about.
I am going to go to college for pre-physical therapy and I would like to stay in Minnesota for Grad school- are there any good grad schools in MN for physical therapy?
I am doing a research project and am trying to find the number of referals to physical therapy for different diagnosis.
My 17-year old son was born with Radial-Ulnar Synostosis. It is present in his left arm and he has extremely minimal rotation of his hand and wrist. This has limited him in performing daily tasks without help and also with lifting heavy objects. He has been teased about it all his life. There was no pain present at a young age, but when he started maturing pain started increasing. I took him to see an orthopaedic surgeon when he was 15 years of age. The doctor told him lies and that my son would have to just deal with it for the rest of his life. After the incident of consulting this doctor, he was sent to physical therapy to gain strength in his left arm. He participated in this for several months until there was similar strength compared to the right arm.He would love to have the surgery done. For Christmas this year he has asked for treatment for his arm. I wish there was a doctor that would help make this happen. If anyone could help that would be a great thing.
I have a BS Biology and am going to enroll in a Physical Therapy Assistant A.S. program. I was hoping I could obtain some volunteer experience in physical therapy before I start doing it on a per diem basis.
I was diagnosed originally with spinal stenosis and a degenerated disk. I went thru physical therapy, was given shots and had nerves lasered in my back. Nothing helped. I seeked a second opinion and was told I did not have those medical conditions. It took until July 2007 and working with my own family physician that I found out what I have. I have osteo arthritis and I am having to have my left hip replaced. I have suffered in pain since the orignal diagnosis and had spent a lot of money on unnecessary medical procedures and medicine. Is there a statue of of limitations of sueing the original doctor who mis diagnosed me?
I need to know where I can find a Woman’s Health Physical Therapist in Ohio, that can help with my condition of Vulvodynia. Like, it don’t need to be listed that they know about vulvodynia.
