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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Jason DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to improve your quality of life, 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. Jason 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 can potentially prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

What is 'manual therapy'?

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

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Jason DPT and our team of physical therapists use specific, repetitive exercises to help your brain rewire itself after a stroke. This process, known as neuroplasticity, helps regain lost function and improve walking, balance, and strength. Our goal is to maximize your independence and prevent falls.

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. Jason 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 the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Jason DPT's home exercise program is a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue your progress between sessions and prevent your condition from returning after therapy is complete. It is the most important part of your recovery.

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

Prehabilitation, or prehab, strengthens muscles before surgery, which speeds 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. Jason DPT and our team are here to guide you through every step.
