Would you benefit from evidence-based physical therapy sessions to aid your recovery and regain strength, function, and mobility after surgery?
-
Surgeons commonly refer post-surgical patients to physical therapists for recovery of strength, function, and mobility.
-
Physical therapists provide evidence-based, one-on-one treatment sessions to facilitate the patient’s recovery and return to daily activities, work, recreational pursuits, and sports.
-
Rehabilitation varies depending on the injury and surgery type.
-
Orthopedic post-operative procedures that physical therapists help patients recover from include joint replacements (knee, hip, shoulder), knee ligament reconstructions (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL), arthroscopic knee surgeries, ligament and tendon repairs, arthroscopic hip surgeries, nerve releases, neck and back surgeries, nerve compression releases, bone or joint fusions, tendon transfers, surgical fixation of fractures, and shoulder post-surgical recovery for various conditions.
-
Therapeutic techniques employed by physical therapists may include manual therapy, soft tissue and/or joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, gait and balance training, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), therapeutic exercise and functional strength training, ultrasound, functional re-education, and rehabilitative exercises to enhance strength, endurance, motion, balance, and coordination.
