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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Kristen MSPT, a licensed physical therapist (PT), is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life. She provides hands-on care, education, and exercises to 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. Kristen MSPT 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.

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

Dr. Kristen MSPT and her team are experts in child development. A developmental screening can identify any delays, and a fun, play-based therapy program will help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to reach their milestones.
