Depends on the rules and regulations of each state. Many states allow PT's
a lot of leeway in the presciption of treatments, most docs will just sign
the care plan without reading it.
Personally, I would have wanted a better diagnosis from the doc for you Mary
Katherine before I wasted your time. I would have sent you back to the doc
with a rec to see a ortho or physiatrist, then when I knew what I was
working with go from there.
