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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Jodi PT is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and restoring function. She helps improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercises to prevent injuries, manage pain, and recover from illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Jodi PT will be a comprehensive assessment. We'll 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.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, improving your body's ability to handle the surgery and speed recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, rebuild strength, and ensure the best possible outcome for your new joint. Our team at Dr. Jodi PT will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for both prehab and post-operative care.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Jodi PT can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Jodi PT, focuses on the muscles of the pelvic floor. 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.

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. Jodi 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. This differs from acupuncture, as its basis is in Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine. It can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.
