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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and prescribed exercise 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. Craun will be a comprehensive evaluation. We 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. For conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, physical therapy can be as effective as surgery, acting as 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 crucial role in stroke recovery by using targeted exercises to stimulate neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself. Our therapists will guide you through specific, repetitive exercises to improve walking, balance, and strength, maximizing your independence and reducing the risk of falls.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Craun's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on preventing future episodes, not just treating the current pain. We identify the root cause and create a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on posture and body mechanics. This empowers you to manage your pain long-term.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Craun's home exercise program is a vital 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.

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

Prehabilitation (prehab) exercises before your joint replacement surgery can strengthen muscles, making recovery faster. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to regain range of motion, build strength, and optimize your new joint's performance. Our team is here to guide you through each stage of your recovery.

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

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Craun can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), with specific head maneuvers. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.
