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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Jennifer PT is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and function. She helps improve quality of life through hands-on care, education, and exercise, preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Jennifer PT will be a comprehensive assessment. We 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, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that may prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

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. Jennifer 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 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Jennifer PT to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization, which can help restore joint motion, reduce pain, and prepare the body for therapeutic exercise.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles and improve your overall fitness before surgery, which can speed up your recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome for your new joint.

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, differing from acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Jennifer PT can perform a functional movement screen to identify potential injury risks like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program can then be created to strengthen those areas and prevent future injuries.
