It is our experience that patients who have a few physical therapy sessions prior to their surgery achieve better results post operatively. We can collaborate with your doctor in preparing you for what to expect immediately after surgery and prior to the time you will see a physical therapist on an outpatient basis. Your surgeon may have a specific physical therapy protocol that we will follow. This will gradually progress you to what you are able to do with motion and strength to assist in getting you back to work and recreation in a safe manner.
