Pre Surgical and Post Surgical Rehabilitation in Nine Mile Falls
Physical Therapy Before and After Surgery
What Is Pre Surgical and Post Surgical Rehabilitation?
Pre surgical rehabilitation, often called prehab, is physical therapy performed before surgery to improve strength, flexibility, and joint mobility. Research shows that preparing the body before surgery can improve outcomes and speed recovery.
Post surgical rehabilitation focuses on restoring function after a procedure. Physical therapy helps reduce swelling, improve range of motion, rebuild strength, and guide safe progression back to daily life and physical activity.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation reviewing your surgical plan or post operative instructions, medical history, and current limitations.
Your personalized rehabilitation plan may include:
- Range of motion exercises
- Strengthening and stabilization training
- Gait training and balance work
- Swelling management strategies
- Education on safe movement and activity progression
We carefully monitor progress to ensure safe, steady improvement throughout each phase of recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start physical therapy after surgery?
The timing depends on the type of surgery and your surgeon’s protocol. In many cases, physical therapy begins within days or weeks following surgery. We coordinate care based on your physician’s recommendations.
Does prehab really help before surgery?
Yes. Pre surgical physical therapy can improve strength and mobility before surgery, which may lead to faster recovery and better outcomes afterward.
How long does post surgical rehabilitation take?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and individual healing rates. Joint replacements and ligament repairs often require several weeks to months of guided rehabilitation.
