Physical Therapy (for orthotics)

[lomagna.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a good physical therapist, specifically someone who can do prescription orthotics. I had orthotics in high school when I ran track for overly high arches, but they've beyond worn out now, and I'd like to be able to go jogging without crippling shin splits.

I tried Boston Sports Medicine in Davis but I had a bad experience. A friend of mine recommended Joint Ventures, but when I called them to inquire I very much got a big chain company feel when they described their process for doing orthotics. I'm open to my mind being changed on them. Wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations, either general or specific.

If it matters, I have Harvard Pilgrim.

Thanks!

I have no clue if he can do orthotics, but I had an excellent experience with Ithamar at Outback on Highland Ave., about a mile out of Davis. (http://www.outbackpt.com/) It's a small new practice -- just Ithamar and one other PT who I never met and the lovely lady at the front desk. I never had a problem getting a good appointment and it's on the 88 and 90 bus routes. I had a bad shoulder and he got me back to health in a few months. He's got a great accent, too!

I recommend it highly.
