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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and helps improve your 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. Nicole PT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, 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," strengthens muscles, improving your body's readiness for surgery and accelerating recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, beginning soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, rebuild strength, and optimize your new joint's performance.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Nicole PT's home exercise program is a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent your condition from returning after therapy is complete. It's the most important part of your recovery and empowers you to take an active role in your healing.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery in both men and women.
