“Shannon was amazing. Knew exactly what back issues I've been having since college and a realistic plan to attack it. Was able to clearly explain with photos and her indepth knowledge on the body. Can't wait to tackle the back now.”
Dr. Shiao-Lan Li, DPT, is a doctor of physical therapy at Minimally Invasive Medical Group, which has offices in Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and Irvine, California. He performs regular physical therapy, outpatient evaluation, and treatment for orthopedic patients with all body parts. He also coordinates the patient treatment plans with chiropractics, pain management physicians, orthopedic doctors and primary physicians.
As a physical therapist, Dr. Li does not see separate issues relating to only one body part without relation to the rest of the body. Although a specific portion of the body may be the most obviously injured or restricted in its motion, other aspects of the body’s functioning are also immediately impacted, causing the formation of a specific compensatory pattern. The compensating pattern can result in limited recovery in the original area as well as possible future injury in the supporting area. Physical therapy achieves the highest success when treatment is focused on the restoration of the strength/muscle tone balance between the muscle groups, the coordination of the movement, and the elimination of compensatory patterns.
Dr. Li usually uses all possible tools, such as manual therapy, scraping, Yoga, traditional martial arts, etc., according to the patient’s individual situation to maximize the benefits of the therapy.
