Pre & Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Pre-Surgical Physical Therapy
The stronger you are before surgery, the less ground you will have to make up following surgery. Often times, getting physical therapy, or “pre-hab” before surgery will lead to better outcomes following the procedure. Decreased swelling, improved muscle function, increased range-of-motion, and more flexibility can all result from pre-surgical care and will have positive effects on the post-surgical rehabilitative process.
Aside from these physical factors, our experienced therapists will help ease any concern or anxiety you may have prior to surgery. It is surprisingly common for patients to be unaware of what is actually being done in their surgical procedure, what to expect following surgery, and how long their recovery period will be. Helping individuals stay informed about all aspects of their surgery and prospective rehabilitation are primary goals of Trumpy Physical Therapy.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
With surgery often comes significant uncertainty. Let Trumpy Physical Therapy help ease those concerns and guide the rehabilitation process in a safe and effective manner. Due to high levels of pain, medication intake, and impaired mobility, it can be especially difficult to travel to an outpatient clinic directly following surgery. For this reason, our patients love the convenience offered through our mobile, in-home therapy! Whether it is a total joint replacement, repair of the meniscus, ACL, rotator cuff, lumbar/cervical fusion, or countless other surgeries, Trumpy Physical Therapy has the expertise to help you return to your optimal level of function.
Post-surgical healing rate and speed of recovery will vary depending on the individual and situation. A surgeon may have a specific protocol to follow, which will help guide the overall rehabilitation process, however, it is important to have a knowledgeable physical therapist to recognize which milestones need to be met before progressing to more advanced activities. Progressing safely and appropriately is essential for optimal recovery outcomes.
Many people seek physical therapy in hope of avoiding surgery, but sometimes surgery is the best option for a given injury or condition. In that case, our mobile in-home therapy can be crucial to your preparation for surgery or post-surgical rehabilitation.
We realize it can be difficult to reach your surgeon directly if you have any questions between post-operative appointments. Our therapists can answer many of your questions and will help serve as your advocate to maintain a clear line of communication between you and your doctor or surgeon.
