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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) 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 an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Frawley 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 feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Frawley 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.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Frawley, focuses on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for various conditions, including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and pregnancy/postpartum issues, benefiting both men and women.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Frawley's physical therapy proactively identifies potential injury risks through a functional movement screen. This allows for the creation of a personalized exercise program to correct muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns, thus preventing future 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. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, distinct from acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization help restore joint motion and reduce pain, preparing the body for effective therapeutic exercise.
