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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and 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. Lareyne PT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This will be the starting point for creating a personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that may prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Lareyne PT's physical therapy for chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and creating a personalized program. This includes core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics to prevent future episodes, empowering you to manage your pain long-term.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Lareyne 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 prevent falls.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Lareyne PT, is a specialized area of physical therapy focusing on the muscles of the pelvic floor.
