Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Physical Therapy care with Dr. MPT:
- What should I wear to my physical therapy appointment?
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement and access to the treatment area, such as shorts for knee issues or a tank top for shoulder problems. Athletic wear is a good option.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist?
- Dr. MPT's office offers direct access to physical therapy services. In many states, you can see him without a doctor's referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Please call our office or check with your insurance provider to confirm your plan's requirements.
- How can physical therapy help with my balance problems or dizziness?
- Dr. MPT offers vestibular rehabilitation, a specialized physical therapy for balance and dizziness issues often stemming from inner ear problems. Treatment may include specific head, neck, and eye exercises to retrain the brain and restore stability, such as the Epley maneuver for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
- I have chronic back pain. How is physical therapy different from just resting or taking pain medication?
- Dr. MPT's physical therapy approach differs from simply resting or taking pain medication by focusing on the underlying mechanical problems causing your chronic back pain. He will use manual therapy to improve mobility and prescribe specific exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and restore healthy movement patterns for long-term pain relief. While rest and medication can help with acute pain, physical therapy addresses the root cause of the problem.
- What is 'manual therapy'?
- Dr. MPT uses manual therapy, skilled hands-on techniques, to decrease pain and improve mobility. This includes joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and stretching. Manual therapy is a key part of treatment for many musculoskeletal issues.
- What can I do to prevent my sports injury from happening again?
- Dr. MPT will work with you to identify the root cause of your injury, such as muscle imbalances or poor mechanics. He will create a personalized exercise program focused on strengthening weak areas and improving movement patterns to prevent re-injury, not just on healing. This preventative approach is a key part of sports rehabilitation.
- I'm recovering from surgery. When should I start physical therapy?
- The timing of physical therapy after surgery depends on the type of procedure and your surgeon's protocol. For some surgeries, physical therapy may begin within a few days, while others may require a few weeks of healing first. Always follow your surgeon's recommendations, and Dr. MPT works closely with surgeons to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
- How long does a typical physical therapy session last?
- Initial evaluations typically last about 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Follow-up appointments are usually 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the personalized treatment plan.
