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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Eleyn Fangonilo's physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who specialize 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. Fangonilo will be a comprehensive assessment. She will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform 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.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles before surgery, aiding in a faster recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure optimal results from your new joint. Dr. Fangonilo's team will work with you to create a personalized plan.

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

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Fangonilo's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using specific, repetitive exercises to rewire the brain (neuroplasticity). This leads to improved walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls. Our goal is to help you recover and return to your fullest potential.

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 useful tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

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