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 help improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and exercises to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after illness or surgery.

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 often prevents the need for more invasive procedures.
