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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Sean MPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to improve your quality of life, 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. Sean MPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by 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. Physical therapy, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that may prevent 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, unlike acupuncture, and is a tool to help accelerate your recovery.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Sean MPT's home exercise program is a personalized set of exercises designed to empower you to continue your progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete. It's the most important part of your recovery journey.

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

Prehabilitation (prehab) exercises strengthen muscles before surgery, which can significantly speed recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Working with Dr. Sean MPT, your physical therapist, will be a vital part of your recovery journey.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Sean, MPT, to address pain and improve movement. Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization help restore joint motion and address muscle issues. This prepares the body for effective therapeutic exercises.
