Go talk to the one who treated you earlier. She/he will be flattered most
likely. Once, when I was in therapy, a man walked in off the street and
started asking questions. Later, my therapist told me that it's some kind of
regulation that they have to answer questions even if people aren't their
patients. Besides, she said they were glad to do it.

Also, my Ortho doc told me stair climbing is good. He said, "Go up but ride
the elevator down." Maybe you can find a building and do that a bit every
day.
