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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Stacy MSPT, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and restoring function. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to help improve your 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. Stacy MSPT will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will discuss your medical history and recovery goals, followed by a physical evaluation assessing your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This evaluation is the starting point for creating a 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 to potentially avoid more invasive procedures.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," strengthens muscles, improving your recovery time after surgery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome for your new joint. Dr. Stacy MSPT and our team are here to guide you through each step.

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

Yes, Dr. Stacy MSPT and other physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation. They can treat common causes of dizziness, such as BPPV, with specific head maneuvers and improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by Dr. Stacy MSPT to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and reduce pain, preparing the body for effective therapeutic exercise.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Stacy 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, proactively preventing future problems.

I have pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Stacy MSPT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.
