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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and restoring function. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to help improve your quality of life, prevent injuries, and manage pain after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Irma 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 personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. For conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, physical therapy can be as effective as surgery, acting as a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Irma PT to address pain and improve movement. Techniques include joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization, which help restore joint motion and reduce pain. This approach prepares the body for more effective therapeutic exercise.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Irma PT 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.

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. Irma PT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain 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 different from acupuncture, as its basis is in Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Irma PT's home exercise program is a personalized set of exercises designed to empower you to continue your progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete. It's the most important part of your recovery, helping you achieve lasting results.
