Please please help me find a PT!

Post by joehansen12 »

I had a bad flareup after a long time. I have decided now to go ahead and get myself checked up by a good PT. Even if it means I need to travel outside Utah.

I can travel to California, Colorado, Chicago or any place close to Utah.

Question 1: I'd like to be seen by Tim Sawyer. Is there anyway I can get an appointment with him without attending the 6 day Stanford Clinic? If so, what's his address and phone number?

Question 2: If not Tim, then I would like to be seen by Rhonda Kotarinos or a PT trained by her. Is that possible in reasonable frame of time?

Question 3: Anyone other than Tim and Rhonda, who are experts in this area and are somewhere on the West Coast or Midwest, who I can see quickly?

Thanks for your help!

I tried it, the search comes up empty no matter which state you select.

Thanks for the replies, Clay!

I have booked an appointment with Janet Myshral, (801) 486-7542, located in SLC, UT. She said that she specializes in pelvic floor therapy and has treated a LOT of women and a few men since 6 yrs. She even accepts my insurance, which is great! Hopefully she can help me. Has any one seen Janet Myshral before?

I had seen Bonnie Hensley before. She used Strain/Counter Strain and thats not the best way to deal pelvic pain I believe.

If it doesn't work out with Janet, I plan to fly to Las Vegas to see Tina Baum. Any experience with Tina Baum, anyone?

Thanks again for the help Clay!

Regards,
Joe.
