Post-Surgical Therapy

Pro-Motion Physical Therapy - Post-Surgery Physical Therapy:

Orthopedic post-surgical physical therapy involves identifying and treating the causes of pain, mobility and functional limitations related to the musculo-skeletal system which means the muscles, bones, joints cartilage, ligaments, and tendons of your body after surgery.

After your surgical procedure you may stay in hospital for a few days until your condition stabilizes or your surgery may be on an outpatient basis which means you go home the same day.

Depending on your support set up at home you have the option of going to a rehabilitation center for your physical therapy or have physical therapy at home for a few weeks before starting outpatient physical therapy where most of your improvement will be achieved.
