I found two Mount Pleasant's in Michigan when I tried to Mapquest it ... so not sure if either of these is near you ...

Steve Houghton in Haslett should be good ... Steve.Houghton@att.net
Michael O'Hearn in Saint Joseph ... mohearn@lakelandregional.org
They both teach in the certification program that I think is excellent. Their training is such that they will work to get to the bottom of your problem, not just prescribe some basic exercises.

If you go to this website, there are a bunch of other program graduates listed under Michigan. You might be able to track them down through your insurance provider network or local phone book.


You can also try looking under the APTA's website. You can enter your search criteria with zip code, distance, and specialty. Keep in mind this will only list those therapists who are APTA members and not all of us are. I did a search here. You will most likely be better off with someone with "OCS" (Orthopedic Certified Specialist) or "SCS" (Sports Certified Specialist) after their name, but this is not necessarily a guarantee of the quality of his/her work.

Honestly, I would talk with your therapist, but if you get the idea that she really doesn't understand your problem or know what she is doing, then search for a better qualified therapist. I hate to say it, but there are a lot of bad therapists out there unfortunately.
