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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Olga MSPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They help improve your quality of life through hands-on treatment, education, and tailored 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. Olga MSPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. She 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.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Olga and our team of physical therapists specialize in helping stroke survivors regain strength, balance, and mobility. We use targeted exercises to stimulate neuroplasticity, encouraging the brain to rewire and restore lost function.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and prepare you for surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy, starting soon after surgery, is critical to restoring range of motion, building strength, and ensuring the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Olga MSPT and her team are ready to help you every step of the way.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Olga MSPT to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and alleviate muscle tension.
