Is there such a thing as a PT specializing in feet?

My hand therapist has been such a godsend compared to a "regular PT" when it comes to my wrist. Actually, she's an OT -- you can get hand therapy certification with either background. Her depth and breadth of knowledge is astounding. She knows a lot more about hands than any of the ortho surgeons I've ever talked to.

If you're starting to look at surgery as an option, maybe first investigate whether there's a PT in your area specializing in feet and lower leg ...
