Nailing down the right thing is a diagnosis. PT cannot make a diagnosis.
There is truth in the 2nd half of your statement. There are scumbags in every profession. But at least see somebody who can diagnose the problem first.

I still don't know what you're referring to. A physiotherapist will diagnose the problem. Why do you keep saying the can't make a diagnosis? In my experience, they, along with sports medicine doctors and sport chiropractors are the best at diagnosis.
