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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They help improve your quality of life by providing 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. Manarte 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.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach using techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for exercise.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse the arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Bryan Manarte can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, preparing you for surgery and 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 for your new joint. We work closely with your surgeon to develop a personalized plan.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Bryan Manarte's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, proactively strengthening your body and decreasing your risk of future problems.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a vital role in stroke recovery by using specific exercises to stimulate neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself. Therapists work to improve walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls.
