Good day! Yes! Physical therapy has so many aspects to it, one being vestibular rehabilitation. If you tend to be hypersensitive to sudden movements especially when changing from a horizontal (lying on back) to a vertical position (sitting upright), your vestibular system could be affected.

It's great to hear that you are going to physical therapy for your low back pain. In terms of your knee pain however, it is not necessary to discontinue with therapy unless advised by your primary care physician or orthopaedic physician. Depending on what type of injury you have on your knee, therapy could still continue since the back and lower extremity could correlate with one another. With that being said, I suggest asking your primary doctor as they will have more details regarding the severity of your knee injury.

There are different types of headaches that could be triggered from different sources. Tension headaches tend to be associated with muscle pain, which is a symptom of certain conditions, but not a condition in itself. Consult with your nearest physician to identify what could be the factor that is triggering your headaches.

Depending on the severity of the angle, there are 3 stages. 1st being exercises for a mild angle, 2nd being exercises and an orthotic device (brace) and 3rd being the most severe, is surgery. I suggest consulting your closest primary care physician or orthopaedic doctor to get an xray to see the degree of your scoliosis.

Start with basic range of motion exercises and gentle stretches for the ankle. It is never too early to start physical therapy as injuries could cause complications due to not being able to use the certain body part. Take it slow with the exercises and listen to your body. If it's too much pain then lessen the load of the exercise.

Once back pain becomes debilitating to a point that you could no longer perform your daily activities, it is best to consult with a physician right away. Clinics tend to grade the level of pain from 0-10, 0 being no pain at all and 10 meaning that you need to go to the hospital.

It is ideal that after surgery, physical therapy is highly suggested due to complications that occur post- op.

I suggest going to physical therapy as prescribed by physician. Consult with a neurologist as soon as you can regarding your symptoms as some neck conditions could be correlated to injuries in the spinal cord as well.

Cardiac Rehabilitation involves a therapy regimen that must be followed woth close monitoring of vital signs. I suggest consulting with a healthy care professIonal when starting physical therapy to address your condition.
