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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Kellie PT is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. She uses hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercise 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. Kellie 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 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," can strengthen muscles and improve your body's readiness for surgery, speeding up recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Kellie PT will work closely with you to create a personalized plan.

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, different from acupuncture, and can be a helpful tool to accelerate your recovery.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Kellie 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 to help prevent falls.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Kellie PT's physical therapy program focuses on restoring neurological function after a stroke. We use specific, repetitive exercises to encourage neuroplasticity, helping your brain rewire itself and regain lost skills. Our goal is to improve walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing your independence and reducing the risk of falls.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Kellie PT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that may lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues, proactively preventing future problems.
