Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Sebastien Ledeme-Goodman:

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and restoring function. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to improve quality of life, prevent injuries, and manage pain after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Ledeme-Goodman will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a thorough 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 can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Physical therapy plays a vital role in stroke recovery by using specific exercises to retrain the brain (neuroplasticity). Our therapists help regain lost function, focusing on improving walking, balance, and strength to enhance independence and reduce the risk of falls. This personalized approach maximizes your potential for recovery.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Ledeme-Goodman can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, such as BPPV, with specific head maneuvers.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Ledeme-Goodman's physical therapy helps prevent injuries by identifying muscle imbalances, weakness, and poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen.
