The surgeon who did my neck dissection gave me a prescription for PT. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a specific type of PT person that helped them or anything I should look for?

I had a issue last year with my hip and I went to one PT and the condition worsened. I went to another and I was helped greatly so there can be a big difference.

Any other advice for recovery and what helped others would be greatly appreciated.
