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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Victor DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They help improve your quality of life by providing 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. Victor 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 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.

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

It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion, release muscle tension, and prepare the body for exercise. This approach can help reduce pain and improve your overall function.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Victor, DPT, 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. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.
