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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Olson and our physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who specialize in movement and restoring function. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to help improve your quality of life, prevent injuries, manage pain, and recover from illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Olson will be a comprehensive assessment. He will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This evaluation 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 does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Daniel Olson's physical therapy proactively identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, and poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues, preventing future injuries.

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 based on Western anatomy and physiology, differing from acupuncture, and is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Olson, focuses on the muscles supporting the pelvic organs. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and those related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Olson's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by focusing on specific, repetitive exercises that promote neuroplasticity. This rewiring of the brain helps improve walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls. Our goal is to support your journey toward recovery and a fulfilling life.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists like Dr. Olson to address pain and improve movement.
