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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Jolene DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to improve your quality of life, 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. Jolene DPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a thorough physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This visit 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 often prevents the need for more invasive procedures.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, unlike acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Jolene, DPT, can help prevent injuries by performing a functional movement screen to identify potential problems like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program is then created to address these issues, strengthening muscles and improving movement, thus reducing your risk of future injuries.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles, improving your recovery time after surgery.
