There is a very simple way to tell what type of knowledge and experience any Physical Therapist has with treating CRPS patients. All one has to do is ask her / him the very simple question, "What is the number one thing that you tell all of your CRPS patients to do when they ramp up badly in pain from CRPS?"

Those that have an in depth understanding of the disease and how to treat it with Physical therapy would more than likely (In My Opinion) answer that question by saying, "I would tell them to immediately begin to desensitize the area." IMO that Physical Therapist knows his / or her trade in regard to helping CRPS patients. That is the physical therapist that I would recommend CRPS patients to seek out! That person knows their business and how to help people like us IMO.
