Of the PT's I've had, the woman are the best. The last guy I had for my shoulder was on par with them but he was restricted by insurance. What he did worked. One lady I had was for frozen shoulder. We did lot of movements and accupuncture. The best was when she said "this is going to hurt you more than it hurts me". As I'm focusing on what she is saying, she jams here thumb into my armpit. Yeah, it hurt but everything after that went much smoother and on the way to easier and more range of motion. Sorry for being long winded, your PT lady sounds truly head and shoulders above the rest.
