Post OPERATIVE Physical Therapy

Post-operative physical therapy is a critical component of the recovery process following surgery, aimed at restoring function, reducing pain, and improving overall outcomes. Post-operative physical therapy typically begins soon after surgery and involves a customized plan that may include exercises to improve strength and flexibility, manual therapy to reduce scar tissue and improve mobility, pain management techniques, and education on safe movement and activities.
