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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to improve quality of life, 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 Stewart will be a comprehensive assessment. We 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. For conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, physical therapy can be as effective as surgery, acting as a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing more invasive procedures.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Stewart's physical therapy program focuses on restoring function after stroke. Through targeted, repetitive exercises, we help rewire the brain (neuroplasticity) to regain lost abilities. Our goal is to improve walking, balance, and strength, promoting independence and reducing fall risk.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles and prepare your body for surgery, accelerating recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's function. Our team at Dr. Stewart's practice will guide you through both phases, ensuring the best possible outcome.

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

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Reginald Stewart 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.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Stewart to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion, relieve muscle tension, and prepare the body for exercise. This approach can help reduce pain and improve overall function.
