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

What is a Physical Therapist?

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

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Vasilyeva will be a comprehensive assessment. She will discuss your medical history and goals, then perform 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.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to address pain and improve movement. It involves techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization to restore joint motion and reduce muscle tension. This helps prepare the body for therapeutic exercise and further recovery.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Vasilyeva's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Vasilyeva's physical therapy helps stroke survivors regain lost function by using targeted exercises to retrain the brain. These repetitive movements promote neuroplasticity, encouraging the brain to rewire itself and improve walking, balance, and strength. The goal is to maximize independence and reduce the risk of falls.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse the arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Tatiana Vasilyeva can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Vasilyeva's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on preventing future episodes, not just treating symptoms. She will identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your pain effectively and prevent future issues.
