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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Edwin PT is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise 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. Edwin PT 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 evaluation 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.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Edwin PT's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using specific, repetitive exercises to rewire the brain. This neuroplasticity-based approach improves walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and reducing fall risk. Our goal is to help you recover and return to your desired activities.

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 can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Edwin PT to address pain and movement limitations. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to improve joint motion, reduce pain, and prepare you for therapeutic exercise.

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

Prehabilitation, or pre-operative physical therapy, strengthens muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy, starting soon after surgery, is critical to restoring range of motion, building strength, and optimizing your new joint's function. Our team is here to guide you through both phases for the best possible outcome.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

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