Physical therapy advice for a newbie

My first PT was found via the hospital clinic I was referred to - she was the best at shoulder issues. My daughter was referred by the sports medicine clinic/orthopedic surgeon who repaired her torn labrum. My latest PT (for foot issues) was found via my running group. We partner with a clinic that focuses on athletic rehab, although they do other sorts as well. Someone in the group used this same PT and I then got another vote for her from the podiatrist and the orthotic maker.

The running store I frequent has weekly PT clinics where different PTs come in and do mini sessions. They’ve been in business for years, are into the run/track scene from schools to clubs, and partner with quality PTs and clinics. It’s a way to see if someone gets it w/o paying first.
