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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Jaime DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They provide 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. Jaime DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, and then perform 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 just 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'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Jaime DPT will work with you to develop a personalized plan.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Jaime's physical therapy approach focuses on preventing future back pain episodes, not just treating the current discomfort. She'll identify the root cause of your pain and develop a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your back pain long-term.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

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

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Jaime 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.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Jaime and our team of physical therapists are skilled at helping stroke survivors regain lost function. We use specific exercises to encourage neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself.
