have you tried an on-line search/google for therapists? Check your local phone directory? If you can not find someone to recommend a therapist, then you may want to schedule appointments with several and go in with a list of your questions/criteria....like an interview, you interview the therapist to find out if you like them. That is what i did, and it helped. If I called someone and they sounded funny on the phone, or when I met one and they blinked their eyelids in fast repetitive motion....I knew for me that person was not someone I wanted to visit with on a regular basis. A lot of therapists will let you come in for a free initial session so you have an opportunity to check it out. Good luck to you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
