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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Courtney DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They help improve your quality of life by providing hands-on care, education, and exercises to 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. Courtney 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 just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that can potentially prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Courtney, DPT, to address pain and movement issues. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to improve joint motion, reduce pain, and prepare the body for exercise.

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Courtney DPT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain 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. This differs from acupuncture, as it's based on Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine. It can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

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

Yes, Dr. Courtney, a physical therapist, can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, like BPPV, with specific head maneuvers. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.
