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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and helps improve quality of life. They provide 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. Bradley Jr. will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a thorough physical evaluation 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. 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.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a vital role in stroke recovery by utilizing specific exercises to retrain the brain and body. Our therapists focus on restoring lost function, including improving walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing fall risk. These targeted exercises promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself for optimal recovery.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Bradley Jr. can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Bradley Jr., is a specialized area of physical therapy focusing on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

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

Yes, a physical therapist, like Dr. Bradley Jr., 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 to help prevent falls.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Our skilled therapists will guide you through each step.
