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

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Stacie MSPT, a licensed physical therapist, is a movement expert who helps improve your quality of life. She uses hands-on care, education, and prescribed 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. Stacie MSPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. She 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. Physical therapy, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that often prevents the need for more invasive procedures.
