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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and restoring function. They help improve quality of life through hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercise, preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Dalys PT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical assessment 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 pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy 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 like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Our team at Dr. Daly's PT will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to address pain and movement limitations. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to improve joint motion, reduce pain, and prepare the body for exercise.

I have pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Dalys PT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Dalys PT proactively identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to strengthen these areas and prevent future injuries. This proactive approach helps patients maintain optimal function and avoid potential problems.
