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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Reeya Patel's physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals specializing in movement and restoring function. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to improve quality of life, prevent injuries, manage pain, and help patients recover from illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Reeya Patel will be a comprehensive assessment. She will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This evaluation 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, 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 optimal results from your new joint. Dr. Patel's team will guide you through both phases.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Reeya Patel's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, proactively strengthening your body and reducing your risk of future problems.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Reeya Patel, focuses on the muscles supporting the pelvic organs. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled physical therapy technique where a thin needle is inserted into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is rooted in Western anatomy and physiology, and is used as a tool to accelerate recovery.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Reeya Patel's physical therapy approach focuses on preventing future back pain episodes. She'll identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your back health effectively long-term.
