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 through hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercise. She specializes in preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after 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 personal goals, followed by a physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This evaluation 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 can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Lindsey and our physical therapists use specific, repetitive exercises to stimulate neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself and regain lost function after a stroke. This leads to improvements in walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and preventing falls.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

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

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

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Lindsey DPT's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on preventing future episodes, not just treating symptoms. We will identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your back health long-term.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles and improve your body's readiness for surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Lindsey DPT and our team will guide you through both phases.
