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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They provide hands-on care, education, and exercises 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. Corcho will be a comprehensive evaluation. He 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.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled physical therapy technique where a thin needle is inserted 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.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles and improves flexibility, which can speed up recovery after joint replacement surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical to restoring range of motion, building strength, and ensuring the best possible outcome for your new joint. It typically begins soon after surgery.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Corcho's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete.

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

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

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists like Dr. Corcho to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and relieve muscle tension. This helps reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for more effective therapeutic exercise.
