PT. She seems very thorough, caring and knowledgeable. Bonus: her daughter
ran Chicago last year too.
She didn't really tell me anything surprising. She just kind of made me
realize how important it is that I correct my issues: overpronation, weak
hips, tight right IT band. My overpronation is really the root of all my
injury evil, and if I let it go uncorrected (re: without orthotics) I'm sure
to suffer more (and new) injuries, like achilles tendonitis.
So basically, I'll be getting orthotics (again), doing more stretching and
strengthening and working on form (I think?).
She said she'll be able to get me running again soon, so that's relieving.
But I almost wanted to cry after I asked how much these sessions will cost
me. The receptionist couldn't say for sure, but estimated around $200 EACH!
If insurance covers, like 80-90%, then I can afford it. But if that's
post-deductible (I have a high deductible plan - like $2,500) I'm not sure I
can justify two sessions a week. Or even one. And I hate the fact that it
costs that much in the first place. $200 for 45 minutes?!
