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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes 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. Lombardi will be a comprehensive evaluation. She will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform 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.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Lombardi's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain goes beyond temporary relief. She identifies the root cause of your pain and creates a personalized program focusing on core strengthening, flexibility, and education on posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to prevent future episodes and manage your pain effectively.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Lombardi's physical therapy program focuses on helping stroke survivors regain lost function. Through specific, repetitive exercises, we help rewire the brain (neuroplasticity) to improve walking, balance, and strength. This ultimately maximizes independence and reduces the risk of falls.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Fabiana Lombardi, focuses on the muscles supporting the pelvic organs. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled physical therapy technique where a thin needle is inserted into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western anatomy and physiology, and is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," helps strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's function. We work closely with you to create a personalized plan for the best possible outcome.
