How to Find a Physical Therapist (PT): A Step-by-Step Guide
Step-by-step, I'll show you how to search for a physical therapist by location and specialization and how to navigate a directory to find the right fit for you.
RECOMMENDED: American Physical Therapy Association's ChoosePT directory: aptaapps.apta.org//APTAPTDirectory/FindAPTDirectory.aspx
NOT AS RECOMMENDED: ABPTS Directory: aptaapps.apta.org//APTAPtDirectory/CertifiedSpecialistDirectory.aspx?_gl=1*1fra4gu*_ga*ODIzNDk2ODA4LjE2NzQzMTQ5NjQ.*_ga_ZZJK74HXNR*MTY3NDMxNDk2My4xLjEuMTY3NDMxNTUzMi4wLjAuMA..&_ga=2.111859789.873791208.1674314964-823496808.1674314964
Additionally, while this video shows you how to find PTs who are board-certified clinical specialists, please don't limit yourself to those clinicians alone. A range of factors should be considered when choosing your PT. For example, if other providers can evaluate you much sooner or requires far less drive time than a specialist, the provider without a specialization may be a more ideal option.

A practical way to put on a bra that clasps in the back. Note: if you only have use on one arm, bras that clasp in the front will be must easier. But, if your favorite bra clasps in the back, here's how you might find success using just a single arm.

    I'm hoping you have since advanced in your knowledge of infant movement, but in case you didn't know, the way infants/children organize movement is vastly different from an adult. Most important to note, muscles do not create movement, rather, muscles respond to movement that is created by the skeletal system in response to forces of gravity, buoyancy etc. The development of our body and brain organizes around and in reaction to the force of gravity. (this is why age adjusting should only be used for organ functions, not motor) The ability to oppose gravity is intrinsic to all living organisms, and there are two foundational movements that directly oppose gravity, on which all other, more complex movements are built. These are rotation and counterbalance. I could go on, but at least now you've been introduced to the concept. Up to you, but I highly recommend looking further into this and the Newborn/Child Movement Assessment produced by MIchelle Turner (not me 😉) With this assessment method you won't have to exlude the kids who really need assessing for early intervention -- CP, SMA...Good luck! never stop learning.

    Please could you do a video for other variants of getting onto standing position for older children, in particular it hypermobile. I’m thinking of the transition to single leg kneeling, kneeling to standing and walking. I have a 3yr old patient with bilateral hip dysplasia which was missed until she was almost 3. Never crawled or walked. Now post op given no follow up support as told she will learn in her own time. We are now at high kneel stage and crawling thanks to your help

    Just wondering, where is your office based at? Would be wonderful if it were in Florida! I just took my 4 month in to see a physical therapist in regards to her right torticollis and I just felt rushed and that he wasn’t super educated in this type of problem. Frustrating. First I was told when she was born that she will “grow out of it.” Her case is mild because I’ve been on top of doing stretches BUT she still favors leaning her head to the right.. 😕 THANK YOU so very much for you video. Wish there were more of you!
