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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Roger MSPT, a licensed physical therapist, is a movement expert who 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. Roger MSPT 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 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.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Roger MSPT's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and empowering you to prevent future episodes. A personalized program, including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and posture education, will help you manage your pain and improve your overall well-being.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles to improve recovery after joint replacement surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, beginning soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and optimize the new joint's function. Dr. Roger MSPT will guide you through both phases for the best possible outcome.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Roger MSPT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues before they cause a problem, proactively preventing future injuries.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Roger MSPT to address pain and improve movement. It involves techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and improve the function of muscles. This helps reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for more effective therapeutic exercises.
