Not sure what you are in PT for, but I have spent lots and lots of

time in PT (2 back surgeries, wrist (nerve) tumors, carpal tunnel).

I have found most PT's to be very caring and concerned. They would

not want you there if you are sick...but they also try to push you

when you might not " want " to be there. However, your problem may be

more with the place, I went to one PT place, excellent therapists,

but it was a mill....all about volume. You might want to consider a

different place.
