<p>I agree with the posters above - when I had PT I saw a lot of people that needed physical assistance and most of the PT's where I went actually looked like personal trainers! Please don't be offended by his lack of tact in delivering the message, but he may have been correct. I think that shadowing a PT would be great for you as well as interviewing several for their perspectives. I remember being told that as a 5'1" woman it would be difficult for me to pursue certain careers and I realized that they were probably correct.
Have you considered speech therapy? That would be related yet your walker would not be a factor at all.</p>
