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

What is a Physical Therapist?
A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Cynthia MSPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They help improve quality of life by providing 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. Cynthia MSPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, and 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.
I'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?
Prehabilitation, or prehab, strengthens muscles before surgery, which speeds recovery. Post-operative physical therapy, starting soon after surgery, is critical to restoring range of motion, building strength, and ensuring the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Cynthia MSPT and her team are here to guide you through every step of the process.
How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?
Dr. Cynthia MSPT's physical therapy approach focuses on preventing future back pain episodes, not just treating the current discomfort. She will identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your back health long-term.
How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?
Dr. Cynthia MSPT can help prevent injuries by performing a functional movement screen to identify potential problems like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues and strengthen your body, reducing your risk of future injuries.
What is pelvic floor physical therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Cynthia MSPT, focuses on the muscles supporting the pelvic organs. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.
I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?
Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Cynthia MSPT 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 to prevent falls.
