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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Alicia DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to improve your quality of life, prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Alicia DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We 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, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that often prevents the need for more invasive procedures.

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. Alicia DPT 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 with chronic back pain?

Dr. Alicia DPT's physical therapy for chronic back pain focuses on preventing future episodes, not just treating the current discomfort. She'll identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on posture and body mechanics to empower you to manage your back health long-term.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Alicia's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using specific exercises to rewire the brain. This process, called neuroplasticity, improves walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing fall risk. Our therapists work closely with each patient to create a personalized plan that addresses their unique needs.

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, unlike acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

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

Yes, Dr. Alicia, a pediatric physical therapist, is expertly trained to assess and address developmental delays. She can perform a comprehensive developmental screening to identify any areas needing attention and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence.
