Our user asked: "my husband has been told he has a bulging disc they are scheduling a MRI ... but, have signed him up for physical therapy... what should he expect when he goes?"

Ask a PT Response: "In physical therapy your husband will have an initial evaluation conducted on him where the physical therapist will develop a plan of care based on his or her findings. The therapist will most likely create a home exercise program for him as well.
