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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Jerry PT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They help improve quality of life by providing 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. Jerry 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 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 have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Jerry PT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Jerry PT's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Jerry PT to address pain and improve movement. It involves techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and improve muscle function. This helps reduce pain and prepare the body for more effective therapeutic exercises.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Jerry 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, helping to prevent falls.

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

Prehabilitation exercises can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery.
