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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and improving 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. Megan Quigley will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, and then perform a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This 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.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's function. Dr. Quigley and our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Quigley's physical therapy approach focuses on preventing future back pain episodes by identifying the root cause. Her program includes core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your pain effectively long-term.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in stroke recovery by helping the brain rewire itself through targeted, repetitive exercises. Our therapists use these techniques to improve walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and minimizing the risk of falls. This leads to significant neurological recovery and improved quality of life.

I have pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Megan Quigley can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

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, unlike acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.
