Well, I'm setting an appointment with an orthopedist here soon. I am fully suspecting that I'll be heading to see a physical therapist. After reading these forums, T-nation, etc. I'm hearing alot of issues with PT's who aren't making good recommendations, aren't getting to the root of the cause, and aren't solving problems. How do I know that I'm going to the right PT for me? Any questions to ask?

My concern is that they are going to look at my issues and instead of correcting them are going to give me a list of things that I can't do. Don't squat, don't run, don't bench press, etc.
