Have you recently had surgery and want to ensure a smooth, successful recovery? Post-surgical rehabilitation at RX Physical Therapy is designed to help you heal properly, regain strength, and return to normal function as quickly and safely as possible.
We understand that surgery is just the first step—the real recovery happens in rehab. Our skilled physical therapists are here to guide you every step of the way, with a personalized plan tailored to your specific procedure and goals.
Why is post-surgical rehab important?
After surgery, your body needs time and expert support to heal properly. Without physical therapy, you risk developing stiffness, weakness, poor movement patterns, or even re-injury. Post-surgical rehab helps restore mobility, reduce pain and swelling, improve strength, and speed up your return to everyday life or sport.
Our therapists work closely with your surgeon’s protocol to ensure you’re progressing at the right pace, using proven methods to maximize your outcomes.
Common surgeries we treat:
- Joint replacements (knee, hip, shoulder)
- ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair
- Rotator cuff and labral repair
- Spinal surgeries (fusion, discectomy, laminectomy)
- Tendon and ligament repairs
- Fracture repairs and hardware placements
- Hand and wrist surgeries (carpal tunnel, tendon repair)
Whether your surgery was orthopedic, spine-related, or part of a more complex condition, we’re prepared to support your recovery with confidence and care.
What to expect during your rehab?
Your recovery journey will vary based on the type of surgery, but a typical post-surgical plan at RX Physical Therapy may include:
- Pain and swelling management
- Gentle range of motion exercises
- Progressive strengthening
- Gait and mobility training
- Scar tissue management and soft tissue work
- Balance and proprioception training
- Return-to-function and sport-specific training (if applicable)
Each session is one-on-one with your therapist and focused on helping you safely progress while minimizing pain and complications.

From your first post-op visit to your final follow-up, our team is committed to helping you regain control of your body and confidence in your movement. We also offer Maintenance Training programs for patients who want to continue improving strength and mobility after graduating from formal rehab.
