We know surgery and the time spent healing afterwards can be painful; but we also know how worth it the effort is. It can mean the difference between getting back out there with a healthy, pain free body or ending up back at the doctor’s office looking at future procedures.
A successful surgery can turn into a great – even complete – recovery if post-surgical physical therapy is also a success. And a patient’s participation in their post-surgical physical therapy is absolutely crucial. In our experience, one of the main reasons why patients may not be that invested in their post-surgical physical therapy is simply because they don’t know that much about it. The good news is that we do know how much physical therapy can help with recovery, and we want to make sure you do too. We suggest first asking your surgeon about its importance or, and you would like more information, please stop in or give us a call. We’re always happy to talk about the benefits of a great post-surgical physical therapy program.
Post-surgical physical therapy at True Potential starts in much the same way as any physical therapy treatment would; with a comprehensive evaluation. This allows us to understand what surgery you’re recovering from, what condition your body is in and what your personal recovery goals are. As we said earlier, post-surgical physical therapy can be a bit painful of course, but that’s exactly what we’re experienced in helping patients with. We put the highest importance on consistent and open communication between our therapists and our patients. This allows us to help you push your pain thresholds while also making you as comfortable as possible during those tougher moments. We’ll be there for you every step of the way.
