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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They are experts in helping improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and exercise. PTs help 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. Goldberg will be a comprehensive assessment. He 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 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 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. Brendan Goldberg's practice can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

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. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western anatomy and physiology, and is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

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 crucial, beginning soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome. Our team at Dr. Goldberg's practice is here to guide you through every step of the process.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Goldberg, 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 such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery for both men and women.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Goldberg's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using targeted exercises to retrain the brain. These exercises promote neuroplasticity, encouraging the brain to rewire itself and improve walking, balance, and strength. The goal is to maximize independence and reduce the risk of falls.
