The worst PT experience was my first one. She was incredibly caring and told me she had treated some CRPS patients. She was very open to anything I brought to the table. The trouble was I didn't know enough to bring anything to the equation that would help me. I ended up getting worse and wasted four months with her. Then I got smart and did my homework.

Asking if the PT has treated CRPS patients is not necessarily a good question. My first PT was probably just as clueless with me as the other CRPS patients.

After an extensive search I found a PT who gave me a thorough evaluation with a CRPS protocol. I made rapid progress but unfortunately my chance for early remission was gone.

BTW, the second PT did not have a great bedside manner but helped me more in one week than months of the sweet, caring but clueless.

Don't let your window of remission vanish, find a PT who can hit the ground running and can guide and lead you rather than the other way around.
