What Does Post-Operative Physical Therapy Involve?

Surgery is often a necessary solution for injuries that won’t respond to conservative, nonsurgical treatments, and in some cases, it’s even the first-line treatment. Luckily, physical therapy can help patients recover and heal faster. The purpose of personalized physical therapy after undergoing surgery is to help ensure your body heals correctly, as quickly and as safely as possible. Post-Operative Therapy is proven to help patients recover much more quickly.

Benefits of Post-Op Physical Therapy

Faster Recovery: Physical therapy helps promote faster healing by restoring mobility, strength, and flexibility, reducing the downtime after surgery.
Pain Management: Therapeutic exercises and techniques can help alleviate post-operative pain and discomfort, improving overall comfort and quality of life.
Restored Functionality: Physical therapy aids in restoring and enhancing the patient's ability to perform daily activities, improving overall functional independence.
Prevention of Complications: Post-operative physical therapy can help prevent complications such as blood clots, muscle atrophy, and joint stiffness that may arise from prolonged immobility.
Improved Range of Motion: Through targeted exercises and stretches, physical therapy can enhance joint flexibility and range of motion, facilitating better movement and reducing the risk of stiffness.
Enhanced Strength: Physical therapy promotes muscle strengthening, helping patients regain strength and stability, which is particularly crucial after surgery.

Post-operative physical therapy plays a critical role in promoting a successful and complete recovery, enabling patients to regain optimal function and resume their daily activities.

In my opinion, what really sets Matthew apart is his ability to pay attention to the individual and understand each person's idiosyncratic needs. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Time goes by so fast during every appointment! He also has his therapy pup in the office sometimes, and he's an absolute lovebug! Highly recommended!

He was also the first one to say maybe it's time to decrease the sessions to once a week and then every other week once he felt that I was really on the mend. I cannot say anything other than anyone who is in pain and/or needs physical therapy should see D
