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

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 illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Reginald Johnson will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This forms the foundation for 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.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists like Dr. Reginald Johnson to address pain and improve movement. Techniques include joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization, helping to restore joint motion and improve muscle function. This prepares the body for optimal results from therapeutic exercises.

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

Prehabilitation exercises can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and achieve the best possible outcome from your new joint.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Johnson's physical therapy program focuses on restoring neurological function after stroke. Through specific, repetitive exercises, therapists encourage neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself and regain lost abilities. This personalized approach improves walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and preventing falls.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Reginald Johnson'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 before they cause a problem. This proactive approach minimizes your risk of future injuries.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Reginald Johnson, is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for various conditions, including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.
