Apex Rehab’s Program following Rotator cuff surgery, ACL reconstruction and joint replacement.
At Apex Physical Rehabilitation & Wellness, we offer specialized pre and post-operative physical therapy programs designed to optimize surgical outcomes and enhance recovery. Whether you’re preparing for surgery or recovering from one, our personalized approach will support your strength, mobility, and overall well-being. Physical therapy before and after surgery is crucial for a successful recovery, helping patients regain mobility, strength, and function, as well as manage pain and prevent complications
Pre-Operative Physical Therapy Goals
- Improve strength, mobility, and function before surgery
- Reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation
- Learn exercises and techniques to aid in recovery
- Set realistic goals and expectations for recovery
- Reduce anxiety by familiarizing yourself with therapy routines and your therapist
Post-Operative Physical Therapy Goals
• Restoring Function and Mobility:
Physical therapy helps patients regain the ability to perform daily activities and movements that may have been compromised by surgery.
• Pain Management:
Physical therapy techniques, like manual therapy, heat/cold therapy, and electrical stimulation, can help manage post-surgical pain and reduce inflammation.
• Reduce Swelling and Scar Tissue:
Physical therapy can help reduce swelling and minimize scar tissue formation, which can improve flexibility and range of motion.
• Preventing Complications:
Physical therapy can help prevent complications like blood clots, infections, and contractures (loss of joint mobility).
• Promote Healing:
By increasing blood flow to the surgical area, physical therapy helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen, promoting faster healing.
• Improve Overall Well-being:
Physical therapy can improve overall quality of life by enhancing physical health, enabling a quicker return to daily activities, and boosting morale and motivation.
• Education and Prevention:
Physical therapists educate patients on proper body mechanics and posture to prevent future injuries and improve overall physical function.
