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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They provide hands-on care, education, and exercises 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. Liane PT 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 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.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Liane PT'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 recurring after therapy ends. This empowers you to take an active role in your healing journey.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Liane PT and our team use targeted physical therapy to help stroke survivors regain lost function. We employ specific, repetitive exercises to encourage neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself. Our goal is to improve walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Liane PT can perform a functional movement screen to identify potential injury risks, like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program can then be created to strengthen those areas and prevent future problems. This proactive approach helps you maintain optimal physical function and avoid injuries.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding up your recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Liane PT will guide you through both phases.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Liane PT to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization help restore joint motion and alleviate muscle tension. This prepares the body for effective therapeutic exercise.
