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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Marta, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement. They help improve your quality of life by providing 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. Marta will be a comprehensive assessment. She will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This will be 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, 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 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Marta, where she uses techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare your body for therapeutic exercises.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, different from acupuncture, and can be a helpful tool to accelerate your recovery.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, preparing you for surgery and speeding 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. Marta RPT will work with you throughout this process.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Marta's physical therapy approach focuses on preventing future back pain episodes by identifying the root cause. A personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on posture and body mechanics will empower you to manage your pain long-term.

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