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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Taylor DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and helps improve your quality of life. They use 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. Taylor 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 to potentially avoid more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Taylor 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 before they cause a problem, proactively preventing future injuries.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Taylor DPT, is a specialized area of physical therapy focusing on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

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

Yes, Dr. Taylor DPT is an expert in pediatric physical therapy. We 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.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Taylor DPT's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and empowering you to prevent future episodes. We'll create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This proactive approach, not just temporary relief, will help you regain control and manage your pain long-term.

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 different from acupuncture, as its basis is in Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.
