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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Nancy, a licensed Physical Therapist (PT), is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercise. She specializes in preventing injuries, managing pain, and restoring function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Nancy 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 forms the foundation for a personalized plan to prevent future issues and recover from your current condition.

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 can potentially prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Nancy RPT 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 help prevent falls.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists, like Dr. Nancy, to address pain and movement issues. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to improve joint motion, reduce pain, and prepare the body for more effective 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, unlike acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

Yes, pediatric physical therapists, like Dr. Nancy RPT, are experts in child development. She can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.

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. Nancy RPT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.
