Surgeons routinely refer post-surgical patients to our physical therapists to help them recover range of motion, flexibility, strength, and function.
Our therapists provide one-on-one, evidence-based physical therapy treatment sessions to help facilitate your recovery and return to activities of daily living (ADLs), work, recreational activities, and competitive sports.
The rehabilitative process depends on the injury, type of surgery, and the patients desired activity level.
We help patients recover and rehabilitate from a variety of orthopedic post-operative procedures

- meniscal repairs
- Cartilage repairs
- Cartilage debridement
- Shoulder post-surgical recovery

Therapies we use to accomplish your goals of regaining movement, reducing pain, swelling and stiffness

Post-Operative Functional Movement Testing
Rehabilitation programs follow specific post-surgical rehabilitation protocols focusing on individualized treatment interventions with the goal of therapy of returning the patient to optimal strength, function, and mobility.
The programs involve a variety of treatment options with goals set for the patient to resume normal activities of living as much as possible. Goals are established by a physical therapist and/or an occupational therapist and the patient after a thorough evaluation.
