Pre & Post Surgical Physical Therapy

Surgery is a big step — we help you prepare for it and recover from it, so you regain function, strength, and range of motion as smoothly as possible.

Pre and post-surgery physical therapy at Thrive Rehabilitation

Pre-surgical and post-surgical physical therapy is a large piece of what we do. Pre-surgical PT is shown to aid in post-surgical recovery — and in some cases, physical therapy can offer an alternative to performing surgery altogether.

Post-surgical physical therapy is needed after most surgeries. It helps you regain function, strength, and range of motion so you can get back to the life you love.

Benefits of pre & post-surgical PT

Pre-surgical

If you have an upcoming surgery, your surgeon may recommend physical therapy before the procedure. Pre-surgical PT strengthens and stretches the muscles beforehand for a smoother, faster recovery afterward.

Post-surgical

Following surgery, your surgeon will prescribe physical therapy to help you regain strength, motion, and function — as well as manage pain — and safely return to your daily activities.
