Rebuilding Movement Is Part of Getting Your Life Back
After surgery, everyday movements can feel very different. Walking may be slower. Reaching may be restricted. Stairs may feel difficult. Strength may be reduced. Activities that used to happen automatically may suddenly require thought and effort.
Physical therapy helps guide the process of restoring movement, strength, control, and function while respecting the precautions and rehabilitation instructions provided by your surgeon.
Your Surgery Is Only Part of the Picture
Two people can have similar procedures and experience very different recoveries. Your rehabilitation should reflect your current mobility, strength, function, goals, and stage of healing.
Treatment Focused on What You Need to Regain
Your rehabilitation program is based on the procedure performed, your surgeon's guidance, your physical therapy evaluation, and the activities you are working toward.
Restore Mobility
Address stiffness and movement restrictions that may interfere with walking, reaching, bending, dressing, stairs, or normal daily activity.
Rebuild Strength
Progressively restore strength and physical control after surgery, reduced activity, or a period of protecting the affected area.
Return to Function
Work toward the physical demands of home, work, recreation, exercise, and the activities that matter in your everyday life.
Looking for Physical Therapy After a Specific Surgery?
Recovery can look very different depending on the procedure you had. Explore our focused post-surgical rehabilitation pages for more information about physical therapy after common orthopedic surgeries.
Recovery Is About More Than Improving a Measurement
Range of motion and strength are important, but they matter because of what they allow you to do.
Your goal may be walking comfortably through the neighborhood, climbing stairs at home, returning to work, reaching overhead, getting back to the gym, or simply moving through the day without thinking constantly about the surgical area.
We Work Within Your Surgical Guidelines
Post-surgical rehabilitation follows the precautions, restrictions, and progression recommended by your surgeon. Treatment is adjusted as your recovery progresses.

When should physical therapy begin after surgery?
