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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Brandie DPT, 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. Brandie DPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by 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 as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that potentially prevents the need for more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Brandie, DPT, 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 address these issues proactively, strengthening muscles and improving movement before injuries occur.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Brandie and our skilled physical therapists utilize specific, repetitive exercises to encourage neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself and regain lost function after a stroke. We focus on improving walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls. Our goal is to help you regain the activities that are important to you.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists like Dr. Brandie DPT are experts in child development. She 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.

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, different from acupuncture, and is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

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. Brandie DPT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.
