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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise 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. Olivia PT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical assessment 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 does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Olivia PT's physical therapy for chronic back pain focuses on preventing future episodes, not just treating the current pain. She'll identify the root cause, creating a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your back pain long-term.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Olivia PT can perform a functional movement screen to identify potential injury risks, such as muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. A personalized exercise program can then be created to strengthen weak areas and improve movement, preventing future injuries.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Olivia PT 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.

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

Prehab exercises strengthen muscles before surgery, aiding faster recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, beginning soon after surgery, to restore joint motion, build strength, and optimize the new joint's function. Our team of physical therapists is here to guide you through every step of your recovery journey.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Olivia PT to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and alleviate muscle tension. This prepares the body for effective therapeutic exercise.
