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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and function. They help improve quality of life through hands-on care, education, and exercise, preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Mahadik 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.

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.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Mahadik's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying potential problems through a functional movement screen. This allows for the creation of a personalized exercise program to correct muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns before they cause an injury.

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. Kiran Mahadik 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. Mahadik'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 issue from returning after therapy is complete.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, improving your ability to recover quickly after surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after your procedure, to restore range of motion, build strength, and achieve the best possible outcome. Our team works closely with you and your surgeon to create a personalized plan.
