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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and restoring function.

PTs play a vital role in preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

We will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a 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. 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.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Sanchez's physical therapy program focuses on restoring neurological function after stroke. Through specific, repetitive exercises, we help rewire the brain (neuroplasticity), improving walking, balance, and strength. This maximizes independence and helps prevent future falls.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Sanchez to address pain and improve movement. It involves techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and relieve muscle tension. This prepares the body for effective therapeutic exercise.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Camilo Sanchez's physical therapy services proactively prevent injuries by identifying muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen.
