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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They provide hands-on care, education, and exercises to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Eduardo Jorge will be a comprehensive assessment. He 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 can be as effective as surgery for conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

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. Eduardo Jorge can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Eduardo Jorge's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying potential problems through a functional movement screen. This screen pinpoints muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues and prevent future injuries.

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 help accelerate your recovery.

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

Prehab exercises strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Our team will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for your needs.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Eduardo Jorge's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue improving between sessions and prevent future problems. This program empowers you to actively participate in your healing and maintain your progress long after therapy ends.
