Need physical therapist recommendations, preferably ones open on the weekend. Saw an orthopedic doctor yesterday who told me I had bursitis of the hip and patellar tendinitis. He said I needed physical therapy and wrote me a script, but I need to pick the therapist. Only problem is I work 7am-5:30pm Mon-Fri. So I would need one that is either open on the weekends or is close to South Congress and Ben White and is open late on the weekdays. My insurance is United HC. Anyone got any good recs? I can't find anywhere that's open on the weekend on Google and most of these places close before I am off work and open after I start.

Sorry, can't recomend a therapist. However, do make sure that your therapist doesn't just do anti-inflammatory protocols. They should be addressing your ranges of motion and flexibility to get your hip and others joints functioning at 100%. The most important tests or the thigh to chest test (hip flexion), lunge stretch test (hip extension), and hamstring stretch test (straight leg raise). You can see how to test these yourself here: http://www.barefootrehab.com/hip-bursitis-beware/
