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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) 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. Daniel AP will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation assessing your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This is the starting point for developing a 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 the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Daniel AP'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 issue from returning after therapy ends. This empowers you to take an active role in your healing journey.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's a tool to accelerate recovery, based on Western anatomy and physiology, differing from acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a vital role in stroke recovery by using specific, repetitive exercises to encourage neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself. Our therapists work to improve walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls. This leads to a greater quality of life and improved functional outcomes.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist, like Dr. Daniel AP, 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 help prevent falls.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Daniel AP can help prevent injuries by performing a functional movement screen to identify potential issues like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues, strengthening your body and reducing your risk of future problems.
