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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Lindsey, a licensed Physical Therapist (PT), is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life. She provides 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. Lindsey DPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by 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 that may prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Lindsey 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 and prevent future problems.

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

Yes, Dr. Lindsey DPT is an expert in child development. She can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence.

What is 'manual therapy'?

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles and improve your overall fitness before surgery, leading to a faster recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. We recommend starting post-operative physical therapy soon after surgery with Dr. Lindsey DPT.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse the arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Lindsey DPT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.
