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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Brandon PT is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes 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. Brandon PT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by 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 can be as effective as surgery for conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Brandon 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.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Brandon PT 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.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a vital role in stroke recovery by using targeted exercises to retrain the brain and body. These specific, repetitive exercises promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself and regain lost function, improving walking, balance, and strength. The goal is to maximize independence and prevent falls.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Brandon PT to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization are used to restore joint motion, alleviate muscle tension, and prepare the body for targeted exercises. This helps reduce pain and improve overall function.

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, unlike acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.
