I know that sounds like a lot of time but when you read on the web about all the folks who NEVER get cured I am grateful. That said if I had to do it all over again I would search for a PT that specifically caters to runners. My guy mentioned that my shoes where probably not the best for me but he did not give me any guidance outside of that. It was my trainer how actually thought to analyse my gait and refer me to a store that specializes in finding the perfect shoes for runners. I mean that just seems so basic.... And a pretty big miss for the therapist....
