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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Tatiana DPT is a licensed physical therapist, 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. Tatiana DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. 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 often a powerful, non-invasive first step to potentially avoid more invasive procedures.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists like Dr. Tatiana DPT are experts in child development. She can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.

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

Dr. Tatiana DPT will guide you through both phases.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?
