Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Specialized recovery programs to help you regain strength and mobility after surgery.

Post-surgical rehabilitation is a critical component of your recovery journey. At Total Care Physical Therapy, we understand that the weeks and months following surgery are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes. Our experienced therapists work closely with your surgeon to develop a personalized rehabilitation protocol that addresses your specific procedure and recovery goals.

Our post-surgical programs begin with gentle range-of-motion exercises and pain management techniques, progressively advancing to strength training, functional mobility, and sport-specific or work-specific activities. We utilize a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, modalities such as electrical stimulation and ultrasound, and patient education to ensure a comprehensive recovery.

Whether you're recovering from joint replacement, rotator cuff repair, spinal surgery, or ACL reconstruction, our team has the expertise to guide you through every stage of rehabilitation. We monitor your progress closely, adjusting your treatment plan as needed to keep you on track toward your recovery goals.

With 20 years of experience in post-surgical care, our therapists have helped thousands of patients return to the activities they love. We believe that a successful surgery is only the beginning — the real transformation happens during rehabilitation.

A service in itself

We coordinate directly with your surgeon, employer, and insurer

Post-surgical recovery involves more than just therapy visits. We communicate directly with your surgeon on protocol progress, with your insurance company on authorizations and billing, and — when you're recovering to return to work — with your employer and case manager on restrictions and timelines.

Your Surgeon

Shared progress notes, aligned rehabilitation protocols, and coordinated clearances at each milestone — so your surgical and rehab teams stay in sync.

Insurance & Authorizations

We handle pre-authorizations, submit progress documentation, and work directly with your insurance company so coverage doesn't become a barrier to recovery.

Employer & Case Manager

When recovery includes a return to work, we document functional capacity and coordinate modified-duty timelines with your employer and case manager.

One less thing for you — or your employer — to manage.
