POST-SURGERY
PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical Therapy is regularly prescribed following many kinds of surgery. It is important to follow the best post-operative protocol to assist you on your road to recovery. Goals following surgery include:

• Help you increase your mobility.

• Increase strength and power.

• Reduce your pain and decrease the likelihood of dysfunction related to scar tissue formation.

• Regain movement that was affected pre-operatively or because of the surgery.

• Provide you the tools to manage your rehabilitation in the months and years after the initial healing has occurred.

Physical therapy is often advised following surgeries such as: joint replacements, muscle tear repair, spinal surgeries, heart procedures.
