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

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 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. Luis 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 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 can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Luis PT and our team work with stroke survivors to improve neurological function. We utilize specific, repetitive exercises to encourage the brain to rewire itself, restoring lost abilities. Our goal is to help you regain strength, balance, and walking ability, promoting independence and reducing the risk of falls.

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

Prehabilitation, or prehab, strengthens muscles before your surgery, which can speed up recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore your range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome for your new joint.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Luis PT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues before they cause a problem, proactively preventing future injuries.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Luis PT's home exercise program is a critical part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Luis PT can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, like BPPV, with specific head maneuvers. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.
