Pre-surgical physical therapy may be prescribed prior to an upcoming surgery or procedure. Having physical therapy prior to surgery may help normalize movement patterns, increase range of motion, improve muscular control and strength of the injured area, as well as improve overall fitness and well-being.
Our pre/post-surgical rehabilitation program incorporates re-establishing joint motion and muscle strength around the joint for enhanced joint function. It is important to understand that rehabilitation may be a long process, depending on the complexity of the surgery. While the surgery may take only a few hours, the rehabilitation process may require weeks to months; while in some critical cases, up to a year.
