A good PT should also be very aware of the needs of a cyclist's forefoot, and absolutely should put you on your bike in the clinic and assess your body function ON YOUR OWN BIKE.

ETA: of course, if you have a true deformity the PT will recognize that and send you on to a licensed Orthotist, which likely will be covered by your insurance.

Thx for the what they "should do" list. I've had bad PT experiences at a clinic, and excellent experiences. Unfortunately it sux when your "good PT person" leaves a clinic to elsewhere. I was thinking later after I posted this that if I don't like, or question, the plan of action I get from doc #1, I can get another op prior to paying privately for the orthotics.
