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

What is a Physical Therapist?

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

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Brandon DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by 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, 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 may prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

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

I'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, improving your recovery time after joint replacement surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome. Our experienced physical therapists will guide you through every stage of your recovery.

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 is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Brandon DPT's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery, empowering you to continue progress between sessions and prevent future issues. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you achieve your goals and maintain your improved function.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

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