What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Hannah 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 illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Hannah 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.

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 may prevent more invasive procedures.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Hannah, DPT, to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization help restore joint motion and reduce muscle tension. This prepares the body for more effective therapeutic exercises.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Hannah and our physical therapists work with you to regain lost function after a stroke. We use specific, repetitive exercises to encourage the brain's ability to rewire itself (neuroplasticity).

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Hannah DPT 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.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Hannah DPT can help prevent injuries by performing a functional movement screen to identify potential issues like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns.
