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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Janet Brumfield and our physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who specialize in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to help 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. Brumfield 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.

Dr. Brumfield's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using targeted exercises to rewire the brain (neuroplasticity).

What is 'manual therapy'?
