Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Liam Globensky offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Electrical Nerve Stimulation: Take a proactive step towards better movement; electrical nerve stimulation helps re-educate muscles and nerves, improving function and preventing future problems.
• EMG (Electromyography): Protecting your future mobility starts with understanding your muscles. An EMG helps detect subtle issues that might lead to injury or dysfunction, enabling prompt intervention.
• High Velocity Low Amplitude Technique (HVLA): To proactively address joint restrictions and potential pain, your physical therapist may use HVLA, a precise adjustment to restore proper joint mechanics and improve your overall movement.
• Botox® for Cervical Dystonia: Botox® injections can help prevent the worsening of cervical dystonia symptoms by reducing muscle spasms and improving your neck's range of motion.
• Mindfulness Meditation: Take a proactive step towards injury prevention by incorporating mindfulness meditation into your routine; it enhances focus and reduces impulsive movements that could lead to injuries.
• Strain-Counterstrain: Take a proactive approach to pain management with strain-counterstrain, a therapy that gently releases muscle tension, reducing the risk of recurring injuries.
• Epidural Steroid Injections: As a proactive measure to alleviate nerve compression pain, epidural steroid injections may provide temporary relief and allow you to participate more fully in physical therapy.

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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and helps improve your quality of life. They provide 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. Globensky 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.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Globensky's physical therapy proactively identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, and poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to address these issues, preventing future injuries.

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

Prehabilitation strengthens muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, beginning soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's outcome.

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. Liam Globensky can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists like Dr. Globensky to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue massage to restore joint motion and improve muscle function, preparing the body for more advanced exercises.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy focusing on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.
