Pre and Post Surgical Rehabilitation

When you need orthopedic surgery to treat an injury or condition, physical therapy plays an important role both before and after your procedure. At Active Orthopedics Physical Therapy, we offer comprehensive programs for pre-operative and post-operative rehabilitation.

As a privately owned clinic, we do NOT employ dozens of surgeons who are "strongly encouraged to keep clients within the medical system". Despite this point, we consistently remain a highly sought out source of post operative surgical rehabilitation in our area. Referring physicians have grown to appreciate our patient centered, outcomes based consistent model of care which focuses on the patients' specific needs from start to finish. Our commitment to providing excellent care along with outstanding customer service provides efficient, effective, and aside from a little discomfort along the way, an enjoyable experience for our patients.

Again, as a privately owned clinic, we are extremely proud of the fact that a vast majority of clients that we treat post operatively have CHOSEN to receive their care at Active Orthopedics after having been patients with us in the past!

Call us today to get started.

FYI: Patients should recognize that IT IS THEIR CHOICE regarding where they choose to receive their physical therapy care. Insist on the best!

Pre-Operative Rehabilitation

Whether you’re having ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery, or a joint replacement, the ultimate success of your recovery depends on your condition prior to surgery. At Active Orthopedics Physical Therapy, our therapists will create a pre-operative rehabilitation program to help prepare you for surgery and make it easier to transition into a rehabilitation program after surgery. The goals of our pre-surgical rehabilitation program include:

Mentally prepare you for surgery and what to expect afterward.
Assist in acquiring and educate in proper use of necessary equipment such as walkers, crutches etc prior to surgery.
Reduce pain and inflammation.
Improve joint mobility and range of motion so you can become active again much quicker after surgery.
Improve overall well-being and fitness to reduce risks and complications during surgery.
Educate you about the exercises we will include in your post-op rehab program.

The better shape you are in before surgery, the more successful your outcome will be after surgery. Improving your function, range of motion, and strength prior to surgery will facilitate your recovery and get you back on your feet faster.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

After surgery, your orthopedic surgeon will recommend physical therapy to expedite your recovery and facilitate a successful outcome. Depending on your procedure, you may start physical therapy anywhere from a few hours to a few days after surgery. In some cases, the body part may first be immobilized for a period of time to help pain and swelling subside prior to starting rehab.

At Active Orthopedics Physical Therapy, you and your therapist will work together to establish your goals for recovery and get you back to your daily activities. Your customized treatment plan will include exercises, hands-on techniques, and proven modalities to help reduce your pain and improve your balance, strength, functionality, and mobility.
