Female, 31

I'm a practicing PT with a Doctorate for the past 4 years now. Although it may not seem like a long time, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in various PT settings. I've worked anywhere from outpatient therapy, home health, aquatic therapy, inpatient rehab, and private clients. I now also instruct on an online prep course for graduates seeking to pass their National Board Examination. PT is a very rewarding job, but can also SUCK, which explains my quest to find the ideal situation

While going through pelvic floor therapy, is it normal for the therapist to rub my scrotum and make contact with my penis? I don’t want to jump to conclusions or make false claims if this is normal, thank you

Hi. A few years ago, I started cracking a joint in my foot - I'm not sure if it is my ankle or somewhere else. All I had to do was place my foot over the other and crack it. It never used to hurt before, but soon I got addicted to cracking it and now I don't even have to place it over my foot, it cracks by itself when I walk. Recently it has started paining and I can feel it all the way up my hip. I'm not sure what to do, can you help me?

Asked by Helene about 10 years ago

 

I have shoulder impingement and I want to devise a physical therapy program that includes exercises that involve external rotation. However, I am already doing rear delt exercises on a combination peck-deck rear-delt machine. I don't do these as therapy, but in my regular weight training workouts.

My concern is, that I don't want to mimic any external rotation movement that I may be doing already on the rear delt machine. Below are some web links of trainees doing the same rear delt movements I am referring to. So my question is, are these weight trainees accomplishing external rotation with their rear delt machine exercises? Are these rear delt machine exercises good for external rotation?

Hi, Is there a way to even out uneven pecs quickly? My right pec, which is my dominant side, is smaller than my left pec and its really embarrassing so, I wanted to know if there was a way to even them out quickly.
