What is Physical Therapy and what's the difference between PT and other healthcare providers?

As Dr. Andy discussed with PT we do a thorough evaluation to figure out different deficits in your movement and your strength and flexibility. 

From that, we then do individualized treatment programs and a specific plan of care in order to address those deficits... if it is in strength, if it is in flexibility, or any of the other kinds of things like that and then what we really do is we focus on function. 

Improving how you do things in daily life, getting you back to doing the things that you love, like exercising, playing sports, playing with your kids, all of that. So it's really all about getting you out of pain, improving all of your deficits, and then improving your ability to live.  

Call 512-215-4227 to book your physical therapy evaluation with our team...

Physical therapy is a specialty that focuses on optimizing movement. 

The first thing when a client comes to see us is we will do a physical therapy evaluation and a huge part of it is we will perform movement analysis to see what specific exercises the client is complaining of pain or difficult to do. 

We will try to identify which part of the movement has deficits and also identify the underlying cause of the specific deficit.

Is it from weakness of a certain muscle? 

From tightness of another muscle or other related anatomic structures like ligaments, a tendon, or the joint.

After identifying the cause or the involved anatomic structure we then develop a very specific plan of care and exercise program or treatment programs to address those issues. The end goal is to optimize movement to help you return to the activities you used to be able to do.
