Finding a Physical Therapist

(HealthDayNews) -- If an injury or aching muscle has left you in need of a physical therapist, the American Physical Therapy Association suggests you ask potential practitioners the following questions before signing up for treatment:

• Are you a licensed physical therapist in my state?
• How much experience do you have treating people with my condition?
• Do you have the equipment to treat my condition?
• Will you accept Medicare, and what are your payment policies?
• How will my treatment program be determined?
• How long will my treatment sessions last?
• How long might I need treatment?
