If you go to a physical therapist, make sure they actually consider your other health issues (if any).

My recent experience: I tried multiple PTs. One said they were familiar with my issues, but kept trying to make me do things that were painful and then tried to gaslight me by saying I wasn't actually in pain. Another one didn't even ask about my other health issues (which absolutely affect their work), and then proceeded to send like 6 different assistants in to guide me through the exercises. None of them asked me how the exercises were for me and I wasn't even told how long I was supposed to do them for. I finally just booked an appointment with a PT that I already know is good, but I can't get in for a few months and it's a couple hours round trip to go in person. It sucks but at least with them I can trust relatively well that they aren't going to actively harm or gaslight me.
