Post-Surgical Rehab

If you have recently had surgery, there is a good chance you will be sent to a physical therapist for post-operative rehabilitation. We frequently treat patients who are recovering from surgery, and sometimes we even see them before surgery to make sure they are in good shape before surgery or to give them instruction on using assistive devices while they are recovering.

Rest assured, you will recover from your surgery, but it can take a lot of time to regain your strength and motion. It all depends on the type of surgery you have had, the severity of your injury or illness, and how long you have had the condition before surgery was performed. The outlook is good for patients who visit Physical Therapists NYC because we have medical doctors on staff to deal with any concerns or issues that may come up. They can also keep an eye on your progress to make sure you are as health as can be. We feature a state-of-the-art facility that has the best diagnostic tools available as well as a well-appointed gym, so you can do all of your aftercare with us and not chase around town to different facilities.

Stages of Post Operative Care

Typically, post operative care can be categorized into four blocks.

Surgery Recovery. This is where you will be focused on managing pain from the incision, reducing swelling, possibly keeping the area immobilized, and battling infection.

Returning Motion. The next step is to start moving. This is not just to return you to normal function, moving helps blood flow and pushes healing along faster. Physical therapy will begin very gently in most situations to ease you into healing. Then you will progress to do more movements and increase your range of motion without pain.

Rebuilding Strength. While you are moving, your muscles are working, so you have already begun developing strength in the motion phase of your recovery. Adding extra strength to the region and improving cardiovascular endurance will improve your all-over health post-surgery and is an essential part of any post operative rehab program.

Restoring Normal Function. You are working toward recovering your normal function, it will take time and gradual steps. It may go faster for some people than others, but it is a process of moving forward relentlessly, regardless of the time involved.
