Postoperative rehabilitation is a structured program designed to help patients recover from surgeries such as orthopedic procedures. Whether you’ve undergone joint replacement, ligament repair, or another orthopedic procedure, rehabilitation services help restore strength, mobility, and function.
A good post-surgical rehab program also reduces the risk of complications such as scar tissue formation and ensures proper healing.
Physical therapy is a cornerstone of the post-surgical healing process. A physical therapist works with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, focusing on restoring movement, improving flexibility, and building strength. This approach not only helps you regain independence but also addresses issues like pain management and the prevention of long-term stiffness.

At Precision Orthopaedic Specialties, our physical therapy programs focus on achieving these benefits while tailoring care to your specific orthopedic surgery needs.
The timing for starting physical therapy depends on the type of surgery you’ve had and your orthopedic surgeon’s recommendations. In many cases, physical therapy begins within a few days to weeks after surgery. For example, patients recovering from a joint replacement or other orthopedic procedures may start therapy early to prevent stiffness and optimize mobility.
Your physical therapist will work with your orthopedic surgeon to determine the best time to begin rehabilitation services. Starting a post-surgical rehabilitation program at the right moment ensures a safe and steady recovery without overexerting the healing tissues.
Every post-surgery recovery journey is unique, but it generally involves these key phases:
Throughout your recovery, physical therapists and occupational therapy specialists provide expert guidance to ensure you progress safely and effectively. The goal is to support the healing process while helping you achieve long-term results.
At Precision Orthopaedic Specialties, we are committed to helping you recover fully and regain your quality of life after surgery. Our skilled physical therapists design individualized post-surgical rehabilitation programs to address your specific needs, from orthopedic surgery recovery to pain management and more.
