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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Jazmin DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes 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. Jazmin DPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a thorough physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This will be the starting point for developing a 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 feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Jazmin 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. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises, helping to prevent falls.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Jazmin's physical therapy program focuses on restoring neurological function after a stroke. Through targeted, repetitive exercises, we help retrain the brain (neuroplasticity) to regain lost skills. Our goal is to improve walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Jazmin, DPT, can perform a functional movement screen to identify potential injury risks, like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program can then be created to strengthen these areas and prevent future problems.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Jazmin, DPT, to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization help restore joint motion and reduce pain, preparing you for therapeutic exercise.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles, improving your recovery speed after joint replacement surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's performance. Dr. Jazmin DPT will work with you to create a personalized plan for both prehab and post-op therapy.
