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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Morgan Hoffman's physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who specialize in movement and improving quality of life. They use 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. Morgan Hoffman will be a comprehensive assessment. We'll discuss your medical history and goals, followed by 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 feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

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

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists like Dr. Morgan Hoffman to address pain and improve movement. Techniques include joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization, helping to restore joint motion and reduce pain, and preparing the body for exercise.

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, not traditional Chinese medicine, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Morgan Hoffman's physical therapy approach emphasizes injury prevention. A functional movement screen identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, proactively preventing future problems.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Morgan Hoffman's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progressing between sessions and prevent your condition from returning after therapy is complete.
