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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Justin MSPT, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes 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. Justin MSPT 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 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 pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Justin MSPT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Justin MSPT's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and empowering you to prevent future episodes. This includes a personalized program of core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. We work together to build a strong foundation for long-term pain relief and wellness.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is the hands-on approach used by Dr. Justin MSPT to address pain and movement limitations. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore normal joint motion and improve muscle function. This helps reduce pain and improve movement, preparing you for more effective therapeutic exercises.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles and improve your overall condition before surgery, leading to a faster recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure optimal results from your new joint. We work closely with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Justin MSPT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues before they cause a problem, proactively preventing future injuries.
