I don't know...at least her therapist seems to care and is willing to try something outside of her normal routine. I've heard of far too many physical therapists who try to approach physical therapy as a one size fits all and god forbid you try to tell them something they are doing doesn't work or is making you worse.

I think (and this is just my opinion and I totally respect James's and birchlakes opinions and that might be the best option for you...only you can decide) that if you are comfortable with your physical therapist and feel like she really wants to partner with you to help you achieve your goals then she might be worth keeping. My last physical therapist was not very knowledgeable about RSD other than having heard of it before, but she really worked with me to combine what she knew and what I knew to come up with something that worked out really well for me. I didn't have to tell her exercises (I admit that is a little odd) but she did really grill me on what would be the best way to approach the therapy, what by biggest concerns were (I had a LOT of symptoms when we first started), what other sorts of things I thought might help me. It was a real partnership and I have found that is very rare...and is worth educating your physical therapist or doctor so they can help you better. RSD is just not common enough and at least this woman is willing to admit that she doesn't know everything.

Just offering another perspective based on my experience.
