Post-Surgical Physical Therapy for a Stronger Recovery

Physical Therapy is a vital component to the recovery process following surgery. It is typical to experience several kinds of pain and limitations following a procedure, and participating in skilled physical therapy will help to decrease pain while regaining both strength and range of motion. Physical Therapy helps to decrease compensations and reduce the risk of complications that can occur after surgery. Our goal is to help you achieve YOUR goals; this can be as simple as being able to walk again, being able to keep up with your kids or grandkids or returning to high level competition. Regardless of your goals, post-op physical therapy is an important catalyst to help you get back to being you again.

What to Expect from Your Post-Surgical Rehab

Exact treatments for post-surgical physical therapy in St. Charles depend largely on the type of surgery performed and the individual needs of each patient. During the initial visit, every patient is thoroughly evaluated by our Doctor of Physical Therapy to develop a personalized plan focused on achieving your specific recovery goals and optimizing post-operative outcomes. Treatment plans may include a combination of stretching, pain-relieving modalities, passive range of motion, manual therapy, joint mobilization, muscle activation techniques, strengthening exercises, and balance training to support a safe and effective recovery.
