Dr. Whitney Grandy DPT's Expert Contributions
  • Will a physical therapy follow up provide me with a regimen?

    Yes. After a full evaluation of your condition, a physical therapist will create a plan of care and a tailored exercise program for you based on the findings. Most commonly they will discuss this with you and see what your functional goals are. Good luck! READ MORE

  • Can physical therapy help with daughter's leg cramps?

    Physical therapy could potentially help with determining if the cause of cramping is solely musculoskeletal. I would recommend stretching before and after practice and increase fluids (water) in the mean time. READ MORE

  • How do physical therapists interact with kids?

    As a minor you are more than welcome and encouraged to attend the initial evaluation. There will be questions that surround her pain, your observation of her average daily movements, and development up until present day. The exercises will be tailored to your child’s level and supervised. Each treatment can vary based on the treating or evaluating therapist. READ MORE

  • Is it safe to do physical therapy without doctor's referral?

    Yes. Physical therapists have direct access, meaning a physician referral isn’t required (unless your insurance requires it). Typically a therapist will treat you for about 30 days and if no significant improvements are gained then a referral to a physician would be suggested. Good luck! READ MORE

  • What are some ways to relieve shoulder pain?

    There are exercises that could help with the symptoms that you are experiencing. I would recommend an assessment with a physical therapist in order to properly asses your scapular stability, rotator cuff strength and flexibility as well as your throwing mechanics for tips to decrease risk for re-injury. READ MORE

  • Does eating help muscles heal?

    There isn’t much that can be done to expedite the healing process. The healing process also considers if there are any other ailments or previous injuries to the same area. In the meantime you could adapt an anti-inflammatory diet to help with underlying inflammation, but if the muscle is truly torn then time and a proper rehabilitation program is imperative to decrease risk for re-injury and optimal recovery. READ MORE

  • How long does a muscle strain take to heal?

    Typically 6-8 weeks with a proper stretching and strength program. READ MORE

  • Is a physical therapy session required for a pulled muscle?

    Your wife would be correct. Physical theory can help with healing as well as risk for re-injury READ MORE

  • Is dry needling recommended for kids?

    Dry needling isn’t recommended for kids under the age of 12. Targeted stretching would be more beneficial. Dry needling can release trigger points/knots in tight muscles. Most therapists won’t jump straight to dry needling. Even if dry needling is performed a stretching program should be adhered to after in order to decrease risk for re-injury READ MORE

  • Can physical therapy help to control diabetes?

    No. Physical therapy cannot control diabetes. Exercise and diet can help depending on which type. READ MORE

  • Will pediatric physical therapy help my son walk on his own?

    Pediatric PT can help. The outcome of their ability to walk independently depends on your child’s development or underlying diagnoses impacting his weakness. A full assessment by a therapist can give your a more tailored answer. All the best READ MORE

  • Should I try physical therapy for my urinary incontinence?

    Hello, physical therapy can help with incontinence but you’ll need to seek out a therapist that specializes in pelvic floor. All the best! READ MORE

  • I have spinal stenosis. Will exercise help?

    I highly recommend trying physical therapy. It is an easy conservative approach that has great outcomes with spinal stenosis, especially depending on the severity. Once you get cut you can’t undo it. All the best, I hope you feel better. READ MORE

  • My daughter suffered facial paralysis during her delivery. Will physical therapy help in better healing?

    Hello, I’m sorry to hear this happened. Your daughter would benefit best from a Speech pathologist. READ MORE

  • My wife has a pain in her collar bone. Can physical therapy help her?

    If your wife had not experienced a fall of any sort or presenting with any other limitations such as difficulty lifting or moving her shoulder, then she may be best suited for a pain management specialist. Check with your primary care or internist to rule out any insidious conditions. All the best. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for physical therapy to show impact in someone suffering from facet hypertrophy?

    Your prognosis depends on the severity of your diagnosis and symptoms. For example do you have any nerve related pain or symptoms? That would indicate a higher severity. Additionally, your core strength and compliance with your given home exercise program. For my patients, if I don’t see any changes within 8-10 visits at a rate of 2-3 times per week I’ll refer them back to their physician based on their presentation. Based on your age, no change at 4 visits with good compliance with the prescribed home program I will typically alter a few aspects of my treatment plan and discuss it/ explain the reasoning with you. READ MORE

  • What is the treatment for cerebral atrophy?

    It would depend on the area of his brain that is effected. The area damaged impacts certain parts of the body based on the area of the brain. For example, strokes impact people differently depending on the side of the brain and location of the occlusion. Generally keeping his body moving and incorporating cognitive/brain activities with movement would be beneficial to help slow any decline. I would advise you to seek out a therapist who specializes in neurological rehabilitation. All the best. READ MORE

  • After an accident how long will it take for my body to regain its original strength?

    Take it slow and steady. If you work on strength consistently for up to 6 days a week, you can begin to expect gains as soon as 1 week. I’m glad that you weren’t severely injured! All the best. READ MORE

  • Why has my knee become so stiff?

    There could be an array of reasons. A further detailed assessment would be required with more information. I suggest having an evaluation with a physical therapist. A licensed physical therapist has direct access meaning you can see them without a prescription for 30 days UNLESS a referral is required by your insurance. If therapy doesn’t help they will most likely refer you to an orthopedist to have a closer look via diagnostic tests. However, your condition doesn’t seem to be too involved based on your initial question. Remember motion is lotion! Motion helps with joint lubrication directly impacting overall mobility. All the best. READ MORE

  • Can physical therapy help in lung rehabilitation?

    Yes, absolutely. Depending on the level of your father’s independence, he may not be a great candidate for an outpatient facility. And with the pandemic, you want to be cautious as he is at an increased risk. I would try home health/a home therapist. READ MORE
