Physical therapists, will pt cure neck, back and knee trouble or just make it better?I have a curve in my spine. If I do physical therapy for all three of them will I be able to get a job that would require bending my neck down or up for a long time?
How much weight can I lift regularly? How much weight can I push and pull regularly? If it cures my problems will I still need to do physical therapy forever if I get a job that requires bending of my neck like that, lifting, and pushing and pulling objects regularly?

Part of PT is to teach you how to perform your job related tasks with good body mechanics.
Without knowing the specifics behind your issues, I cannot say for sure whether you will be able to do the job you wish, but I can tell you that a "curve" in your spine does not make it any more likely that you will have back pain than the general population.
Sorry I cannot be more specific.

You need to have a good Doctor to help you plan your care,a Specialist would be best-a orthopedic. Therapy has to be ordered. Each case would be different and special. No one can answer these questions without a better diagnosis.

Physical therapists will provide guidance and its your effort to do the exercise regularly makes it better.
Good luck
