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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement. They help improve your quality of life through hands-on care, education, and prescribed 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. Isenberg will be a comprehensive evaluation. He will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation assessing your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This is the starting point 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 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, distinct from acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in stroke recovery by using targeted exercises to stimulate neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself. Therapists work to improve walking, balance, and strength, ultimately maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls. This personalized approach fosters significant neurological improvement.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy 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 conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Isenberg's physical therapy proactively identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, and poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, preventing future injuries.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," helps strengthen muscles before surgery, which can speed recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Isenberg's team will work with you throughout the entire process.
