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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Nicholas Myers and our physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and targeted 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. Nicholas Myers will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will 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. For conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, physical therapy can be as effective as surgery, acting as 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, helping to speed up recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, beginning soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Myers and our team will guide you through both phases of your recovery.

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

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Myers and our physical therapists utilize specific, repetitive exercises to stimulate neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself after a stroke.
