Post-surgical physical therapy refers to rehabilitation that focuses on helping individuals recover and regain function after undergoing surgery. This type of physical therapy is tailored to address the specific needs and challenges associated with the procedure performed and aims to optimize the healing process, restore mobility, strength, and function, and minimize complications. Post-surgical physical therapy typically begins shortly after the surgical procedure, once cleared by the surgeon, and progresses based on the individual's recovery timeline. The treatment plan is tailored to the patient with the ultimate goal of helping them return to their pre-surgery level of function and activity. These diagnoses may indue total knee replacements, total hip replacement, knee or shoulder arthroscopy, back or neck surgeries.
