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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Rossana, a licensed Physical Therapist (PT), is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life. She uses hands-on care, education, and exercise 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. Rossana 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 that often prevents more invasive procedures.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists like Dr. Rossana DPT are experts 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.

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

Starting physical therapy both before and after joint replacement surgery is crucial. Prehab strengthens muscles, speeding up recovery. Post-operative PT, beginning soon after surgery, is vital to restore range of motion, build strength, and maximize the new joint's function.

I have pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Rossana DPT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

What is dry needling?

Dr. Rossana DPT uses dry needling, a skilled technique where a thin needle is inserted into a muscle trigger point to release tension and relieve pain. This differs from acupuncture, as it is based on Western anatomy and physiology, and is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Rossana DPT's physical therapy for chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and empowering you to prevent future episodes. A personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics will be developed. This approach promotes long-term pain management and well-being.
