Post-Surgical Rehab
Physical therapy is an imperative part of getting ready for surgery and recovering from it. Logos Physical Therapy provides pre- and post-operative rehab in Perth Amboy and Somerville, New Jersey, and our therapists keep up with continuing education on current procedures.
Prehab: getting stronger before surgery
A stronger, more mobile body going into surgery usually recovers more smoothly. Prehab builds the strength and movement you will need afterward and teaches you the exercises in advance.
Surgeries we rehab
We follow your surgeon’s protocol.
Knee and hip replacement
Rehab after a knee replacement or hip replacement restores motion, strength and walking. Related: knee pain and hip pain.
ACL and meniscus surgery
ACL surgery rehab and meniscus repair rehab move from swelling and motion to strength and return to sport.
Shoulder surgery
Rehab after rotator cuff repair or shoulder surgery protects the repair first, then rebuilds strength. See shoulder pain.
Spine and other surgery
Spinal fusion rehab and recovery after foot and ankle or hand surgery follow the same step-by-step approach.
What recovery looks like
- Protocol-based progressive exercise
- Range of motion restoration and gait training
- Swelling management and scar mobilization
- Manual therapy and corrective exercise
- You can usually choose where you do PT; call us to ask how your plan works. You can come to Logos with a physician’s referral or ask for care directly.
Questions we hear about surgery and therapy
Post-surgical physical therapy and physical therapy after surgery both begin with your surgeon’s protocol. Knee replacement rehab and rotator cuff repair rehab move from protecting the repair to rebuilding strength. Prehab before surgery builds the strength you will lean on, and rehab after shoulder surgery is covered by the same step-by-step plan. Rehab after back surgery relates to back pain care, and return to sport is on sports injury rehab.
