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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and improving quality of life. They provide hands-on care, education, and exercises to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

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

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that may prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

Yes, Dr. Anthonine PT is an expert in child development. A developmental screening can identify any delays, and a fun, play-based therapy program can help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Anthonine PT to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and address muscle issues. This helps reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for therapeutic exercise.

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

Prehabilitation, or pre-operative physical therapy, strengthens muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's function. Dr. Anthonine PT will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for optimal results.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Anthonine PT's approach to chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and empowering you to prevent future episodes. Our program includes core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This proactive approach, rather than just temporary relief, will help you regain control and confidence in managing your back pain.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Anthonine PT can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, such as BPPV, with specific head maneuvers. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises, helping to prevent falls.
