Post Surgical Rehabilitation

Personalized physical therapy to help you recover safely, restore function, and get back to your life.

Recover From Surgery With a Clear Plan

Post-surgical rehabilitation is designed around your procedure, your surgeon's guidelines, and your goals.

Surgery can bring pain, inflammation, swelling, mobility limitations, and the need to relearn daily activities. Knox Physical Therapy creates an individualized plan to help you progress as safely and efficiently as possible while respecting critical post-operative precautions and activity restrictions.

Procedures We Commonly Support

A thoughtful recovery plan can help you move forward after many types of surgery.
Hip & Knee Replacement

Guided recovery for total hip replacements and full or partial knee replacements, with attention to safe movement and restoring daily function.

Shoulder Repair

Rehabilitation for procedures such as rotator cuff repair, helping you follow restrictions while gradually rebuilding comfortable movement.

ACL, MCL & Meniscus Repair

Targeted rehabilitation to address strength, balance, mobility, and safe return to walking and everyday activity after knee repair.

Back Surgery

Support for restoring movement and function while learning safe ways to move in accordance with your post-operative spine precautions.

Cardiac Procedures

Guidance after procedures including ablations, stent placements, and cardiac pacemakers, with care tailored to your needs and restrictions.

Preparing for Surgery

Pre-surgical rehabilitation can build strength, mobility, endurance, and confidence before your procedure.

How Physical Therapy Helps After Surgery

Your care is focused on reducing barriers to a strong, functional recovery.

Our physical therapists use targeted stretches, exercises, education, and appropriate techniques to help minimize pain, improve range of motion, rebuild strength, balance, endurance, and overall function. We can teach safe strategies for stairs, dressing, getting in and out of a car, and other daily tasks while you recover.

Pain & Swelling Management

Physical therapy can provide a non-invasive component of pain management while addressing inflammation, stiffness, and swelling.

Safe Mobility Training

Learn how to move safely, progress appropriately, and use adaptive equipment such as walkers or braces when needed.

Coordinated Support

Your therapist can serve as a supportive liaison with your surgeon, keeping the care team informed of your progress and concerns.
