POST-SURGERY CARE
The Post-Surgery Physical Therapy Process
Understanding what to expect during post-surgical physical therapy is key to preparing for the recovery journey.
The first step in post-surgical physical therapy is an initial assessment by a skilled therapist. This involves evaluating your current physical state, considering your specific surgical details, and discussing your rehabilitation goals. This information helps the therapist develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs for rehab after surgery.
Following the initial assessment, your therapist will guide you through exercises and rehabilitation protocols designed for your individual condition and surgical procedure.
These exercises aim to improve strength, flexibility, range of motion, and balance during your post surgical rehabilitation.
As you progress through your rehabilitation program, we continuously adjust and progress your treatment plan to challenge your abilities, promote functional gains, and achieve optimal outcomes.
Pain and discomfort are common during post-surgical physical therapy. However, your therapist will ensure your pain is effectively managed using techniques like ice or heat therapy, manual therapy, or recommended pain-relieving medications.
We provide you with a personalized home exercise program to supplement your in-clinic sessions, allowing you to continue your rehabilitation progress outside of our facility and maintain long-term gains.
Remember, your active participation in the rehabilitation program and adherence to the therapist’s guidance are crucial for a successful recovery after surgery.
At Therapy Partners, we understand that every surgery is unique. We aim to help you recover safely and efficiently through rehab after surgery so you can regain your confidence and return to your daily activities.
