about 4 months ago i was in a car accident and long story short i have a metal rod and 3 screws in my lower right leg. i can walk but not as i could before and not for a long distance- maybe about 200 ft (about the width of 2 average sized homes) is the distance that i can walk. when i'm sitting down and i need to get up my leg totally gives out, and i skip for about 4 steps then my leg gets the hang of walking again. so i guess i need therapy for leg strength, and i really dont want to go, and now especially of money issues. my insurance and the insurance of the @$$ who caused the accident has maxed out and no more green for me. so i need to know how much is physical therapy according to my injuries.

It depends on the length of your session and type of treatment performed. It is usually billed in 15 minute incriments. Rates will vary depending on your region...I work in a metropolitin area in the midwest in a hospital based clinic...each 15 minute incriment is about $85 for gait training or strengthening...so roughly $250 a session. Many clinics will offer discounted or have charity programs in place for people who cannot afford PT and are paying out of pocket.
Another thing to consider is will your case be going to court? What ever you pay out of pocket can be claimed in your case. Granted, I know that doesn't help many people in the short term.
Finally, if you have private health insurance, they may pick up what the auto insurance did not.
Every case is different.
Good luck.

The average PT is about $100 to $150. Call a few places and ask them. Most can work out a payment plan or some kind of discount.

i'd examine out biology or kinesiology ordinarily. some faculties truly have undergrad courses in actual medical care too. As for courses, communicate approximately anatomy, physique shape, kinesiology, and a type of biology courses. by way of fact you're a freshman, you will in all likelihood be in in general usual analyze required training for the 1st 2 years. attempt to take electives touching directly to actual medical care once you may.

If your local hospital has a program it's usualy cheaper than elsewhere
