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

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 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. Kyle Sellers will be a comprehensive evaluation. 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.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Kyle Sellers' physical therapy proactively identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that can lead to injury through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, preventing future problems.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles to help speed recovery after joint replacement surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial for restoring range of motion and building strength, ensuring the best possible outcome for your new joint. It's important to start post-operative PT soon after surgery.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Kyle Sellers can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists like Dr. Kyle Sellers to address pain and movement limitations. It involves techniques such as joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to improve joint motion, reduce pain, and prepare the body for exercise. This helps restore function and improve overall well-being.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Kyle Sellers' physical therapy focuses on preventing future back pain episodes by identifying the root cause. A personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and posture education will empower you to manage your pain and avoid future issues.
