Our therapists work with various orthopedists in the area and have a lot of experience providing physical therapy to patients before and after surgery.

Some common surgeries for which therapy is provided include:

  • Rotator Cuff Repair
  • Achilles Tendon Repair

  • Foot Surgery/ Reconstruction

Before surgery, physical therapy is a great way to start your recovery process by maximizing range of motion, strength and function for a faster recovery. We communicate with your doctor for proper protocol ensuring that you receive the right exercises at the right time. Pre-operative rehab can produce amazing results including:

  • Mental preparation for surgery
  • Minimal pain and inflammation
  • Gain an understanding of the post-operative exercises performed immediately after surgery

After surgery, physical therapy can help ensure that your body heals properly. Examples of this include minimizing scar tissue, reestablishing joint motion and function, and retraining muscles. With a personalized treatment plan, post-operative therapy can help with: 

  • Circulation and preventing blood clots
  • Posture, balance, and coordination improvement 
  • Home exercise instruction
  • Pain control and management
  • Flexibility
  • Reducing the risk for postoperative pulmonary complications (PCCs)
