Post-Operation
Our physical and occupational therapists work diligently to help you return to your prior levels of health and function as quickly as possible after surgery. We start with a comprehensive evaluation to assess pain, range of motion, posture, strength, joint mobility, incision site healing, reach, and nerve mobility. Treatments may include gentle stretching, electric muscle stimulation, massage (to improve incision site healing and range of motion), joint mobilization, repositioning, strengthening, nerve gliding, and home exercise programs.
