Post-surgery recovery is the critical phase of rehabilitation following an operation, aimed at restoring function, reducing pain, and helping patients regain strength and mobility.
Whether it involves joint replacements, such as hip, knee, or shoulder injuries, or repairs like rotator cuff procedures, this process is essential for achieving the best long-term outcomes and resuming daily activities without limitations.
At Fray & Stafford Physical Therapy, the approach to post-surgical rehabilitation is carefully designed to ensure optimal recovery. We see a wide variety of post-surgical cases, including hip and knee replacements, shoulder replacements, and rotator cuff repairs. Our team recognizes that every surgery and individual is unique, so their strategy is personalized to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Our approach is systemic and rooted in following evidence-based protocols. By adhering to the best practices for each type of surgery, we ensure that recovery progresses smoothly and effectively. The process is structured around well-defined benchmarks throughout the plan of care. These benchmarks act as milestones, providing clear goals to measure progress and guide adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.
Early in the recovery process after a post-surgical injury, the primary focus is to provide pain relief to the joint or area of the operation, reduce swelling, and help you feel comfortable moving again. Once these initial concerns are under control, typically after the first few weeks, the focus shifts to strengthening and mobilization exercises aimed at regaining motion and restoring the joints function.
