Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Allan PT:

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to improve quality of life, prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Allan PT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and recovery goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This is the starting point for creating a personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. For conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, physical therapy can be as effective as surgery, acting as a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

I have pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Allan PT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Allan PT and our team utilize specialized physical therapy techniques to help stroke survivors regain lost function. We focus on exercises that promote neuroplasticity, encouraging the brain to rewire itself and improve strength, balance, and walking. Our goal is to maximize your independence and reduce the risk of falls.

I'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles to speed recovery after joint replacement surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and achieve the best possible outcome from your new joint.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Allan PT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Allan PT to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization help restore joint motion and reduce pain, preparing the body for effective therapeutic exercise.
