Our user asked: "Hello. My brother is disabled, desperate and losing hope. His story is very long and complicated. He wants to work with a physical therapist to help his situation but he doesn't have the money and I want to know if there is a grant or government program or something that he can get with to help him pay for therapy so he can regain the use of his body and become his own person again. I would appreciate any advice or information you may have. Thank you!"

Ask a PT Response: "I would advise you to google search "free clinics in ____ city" he is living in. Many cities have free clinics which offer physical therapy services. In Madison, WI, for example, the MEDic clinic is offered every Saturday. Other than that, I am unaware and was unable to find any specific grants or governmental programs."
