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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Asaad PT is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to 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. Asaad PT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This 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.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Asaad PT, including joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization. It helps reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for therapeutic exercise.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles, preparing you for surgery and speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure optimal results from your new joint. Starting soon after surgery is ideal.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Asaad PT's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using specific, repetitive exercises to rewire the brain (neuroplasticity). This leads to improved walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and reducing fall risk. Our goal is to get you back to doing the things you love.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Asaad PT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues before they cause a problem, proactively preventing future injuries.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, different from acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.
