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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They are movement experts who help improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and exercise. PTs help 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. Anna PhD will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and recovery goals, followed by a thorough 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.

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. This differs from acupuncture, as its basis is in Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine. It's a tool to help accelerate your recovery.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Anna PhD can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.

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

Yes, a physical therapist, like Dr. Anna PhD, 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, helping to prevent falls.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Anna PHD's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by utilizing specific exercises that encourage neuroplasticity. These exercises retrain the brain and body to improve walking, balance, and strength, ultimately increasing independence and reducing the risk of falls. Our goal is to maximize your recovery and well-being.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Anna PHD can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.
