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

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. Castromero 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 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 prevent injuries?

Dr. Castromero's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying potential problems like muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to strengthen those areas and improve form, reducing the risk of future injuries.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, preparing you for surgery and speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome for your new joint. Dr. Castromero's team will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for your recovery.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Castromero to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization, which help restore joint motion and reduce muscle tension. This prepares you for more effective therapeutic exercises.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Castromero's physical therapy program focuses on restoring neurological function after stroke. Through targeted, repetitive exercises, we help the brain rewire itself, improving strength, balance, and walking ability. This approach maximizes independence and helps prevent falls.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Omega Castromero can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.
