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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Tavis, a licensed physical therapist (PT), is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life. They provide 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. Tavis CSCS will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a thorough physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This assessment 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 as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's often a powerful, non-invasive first step to potentially prevent more invasive procedures.

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

Yes, Dr. Tavis CSCS and our pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. We 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 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, unlike acupuncture, and is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

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

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Tavis CSCS, focuses on the muscles supporting the pelvic organs. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Tavis CSCS can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, such as BPPV, with specific head maneuvers.
