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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Lindsay, a licensed physical therapist (PT), is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercise. She specializes in preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Lindsay DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, 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, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

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. Lindsay DPT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Lindsay DPT's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue improving between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Lindsay DPT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues before they cause a problem, helping prevent future injuries.

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, not traditional Chinese medicine, and can be a helpful tool to accelerate your recovery.
