I don't see how a physical therapist is qualified to determine if someone has neuropathy or not.
I have neuropathy all over my body, even my face. I can feel everything that is touching me and even things that aren't touching me
Seriously, my biopsy shows significant damage, but I can feel every object being poked at me every time. The only thing I have an issue with is that sometimes cold feels like hot and vice versa.

When the doctors first thought that my neuropathy was due to cervical herniated disks and sent me for PT, it made me much worse. My muscles were in spasm and the exercises were not helpful at all. In fact, they exacerbated my issues every time I went. It was later figured out as the neuropathy spread down my legs that it wasn't due to herniated disks so I stopped even thinking about therapy and I do what I can do at home.

When I was in the hospital at Columbia Pres, the physical therapist and occupational therapists evaluated me and didn't recommend pt because they could clearly see that I could not move in certain ways with out causing terrible flares of pain.
