Jill Said:

Can I supplement physical therapy given by Regional center in CA?

We Answered:

I do not work in CA so I do not know exactly. In NY you can definately get additional therapy through your private insurance for your child. usually, the therapist should be teaching you what to do so you can follow through all day instead of the couple times a week that the child is seen by the PT.

If I can recommend a book to you it would be

Gross Motor Skills in Children With Down Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Topics in Down Syndrome) (Paperback)
by Patricia C. Winders

Also get involved with the local Down Syndrome Parents group.

Best wishes

Glenda Said:

Can Physical Therapy assistants work in drug rehab centers?

We Answered:

This would not be a usual setting for a PT or a PTA. Chemical dependency rehabilitation and physical rehabilitation are two entirely different entities.

However, in a large metropolitan area, you may be able to work with a specialty hospital where there may be a chemical dependency wing and a physical rehab unit...in cases like these, you may be able to do physical rehabilitation with those on the drug rehab unit if that person has mobility impairments.

Generally, there is very limited physical rehab offered in a drug rehab setting when compared to a physical rehabilitation unit.

Bernard Said:

How can I find a good Physical Therapist?

We Answered:

It depends on what type of problem you have. Do you have a herniated disc in the neck or back...if so, I'd recommend going to http://www.mckenziemdt.org. Or do you have more chronic pain issues, if so, I'd look for a place that offers comprehensive pain management. MS? look for a center that specializes in treating those with neurological disorders.

The degree of the PT itself does not matter, I'd look for experience and credentialing. You can get someone who is fresh out of PT school with their DPT (doctorate) who is still trying to figure things out, or you can get someone with their certificate or BS who've been practicing for 20 years and really know their stuff.

Look for post-graduate education if you are looking for someone with a speciality. Someone with an NCS would be go for MS, ALS, Parkinson's, stroke, etc. Someone with their OCS would be good for rotator cuff problems, knee injuries, etc.

You can look for someone by specialty at: http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?Sect…
