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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to improve quality of life, 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. Marroquin will be a comprehensive evaluation. She will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This 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 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.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and alleviate muscle tension. This helps reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for therapeutic exercises.

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 for your new joint. Our physical therapists are here to guide you through every step of the process.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Marroquin's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying muscle imbalances, weakness, and poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, proactively strengthening and improving your body's mechanics to reduce the risk of future problems.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a vital role in stroke recovery, focusing on restoring lost function through specific, repetitive exercises that promote neuroplasticity. Therapists help rewire the brain, improving walking, balance, and strength to maximize independence and reduce the risk of falls. This ultimately leads to a better quality of life.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Marroquin's physical therapy approach focuses on preventing future back pain episodes by identifying the root cause. Treatment includes core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This empowers patients to manage their pain and avoid future issues.
