Recovering from surgery requires a tailored approach that considers your unique health needs, surgical procedure, and long-term mobility goals. At Patients Choice, we provide expert pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation services in designed to help patients prepare for surgery, recover more quickly, and restore function effectively.
The Importance of Pre-Surgical Rehabilitation
Pre-surgical rehab, often referred to as “prehab,” focuses on preparing your body for the physical demands of surgery and recovery.
Our rehab specialists create individualized pre-surgical plans that address your specific surgery. For example, patients preparing for knee replacement surgery may focus on quadriceps and hamstring strengthening, while spinal surgery patients may work on core stability and posture training.
Once surgery is complete, post-surgical rehab becomes essential to regain mobility, reduce pain, and restore independence. Our team works closely with surgeons and healthcare providers to ensure your rehab plan aligns with your surgical procedure and recovery milestones.
We understand that each surgery has its own set of challenges. For example, recovering from shoulder surgery may need a gradual, carefully monitored approach to prevent strain, while hip replacement patients require specialized gait retraining and strengthening protocols.
Patients Choice provides pre- and post-surgical rehab for a wide variety of procedures, including:
No two patients heal at the same rate, which is why our rehabilitation plans are customized to your unique needs.
One of the most inspiring aspects of our work at Patients Choice is seeing patients meet and exceed their recovery goals. Over the years, we have helped thousands of residents regain independence and confidence after surgery.
A young athlete from came to us after undergoing ACL reconstruction. Before surgery, he participated in a structured prehab program that focused on strengthening the muscles around his knee, improving hip stability, and enhancing balance. After surgery, his rehab began with gentle range-of-motion work and progressed to sport-specific drills. Within nine months, he was back on the basketball court, confident in his movements and pain-free.
A retired teacher underwent a hip replacement and worried about her ability to walk independently. Our pre-surgical program helped her improve her endurance and flexibility, making her post-surgical recovery smoother. After her operation, we implemented gait training, targeted hip strengthening, and balance work. In just 10 weeks, she walked unassisted, enjoyed local community events, and even joined a low-impact dance class.
A business professional faced months of discomfort after a rotator cuff tear. She opted for pre- and post-surgical rehab, focusing on joint mobility, rotator cuff strengthening, and posture correction. This approach sped up her healing and allowed her to return to work without limitations in less than three months.
These stories highlight the transformative impact of early, consistent rehabilitation. Our patients benefit from our expertise and deep understanding of the importance of returning to it as quickly and safely as possible.
At Patients Choice, we combine evidence-based therapy methods with modern technology to give our patients the best possible surgical recovery outcomes.
Manual Therapy for Faster Healing
Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release help reduce scar tissue formation, improve flexibility, and relieve pain after surgery. These techniques are customized for each patient based on their surgery type and healing stage.
Neuromuscular Re-Education
After surgery, some muscles may “forget” how to function correctly due to pain, swelling, or immobilization. Our therapists use neuromuscular re-education techniques to retrain muscle function, improve movement patterns, and restore proper coordination.
Functional Movement Training
We integrate functional exercises that mimic real-life activities, ensuring that recovery translates into improved performance in daily life. Whether climbing stairs, lifting objects, or returning to sports, functional training ensures that rehab prepares you for your unique lifestyle needs.
By combining these advanced methods with individualized care plans, our clinic ensures that patients can access the most effective and comfortable path toward recovery.
Our pre- and post-surgical rehab approach blends the latest rehabilitation technologies with hands-on, personalized therapy. We may incorporate:
These techniques help speed recovery while ensuring your rehabilitation is safe and effective.
Older adults in who undergo surgery often face unique challenges, such as slower healing times or pre-existing health conditions. Our rehab specialists are skilled in adapting programs for seniors, focusing on:
We also work closely with family members and caregivers to support at-home exercise and mobility assistance.
Patients Choice accepts a wide range of insurance plans for pre- and post-surgical rehab services. Our administrative team helps you verify coverage, understand benefits, and manage necessary paperwork.
Our mission is to help you recover fully, safely, and with the tools to maintain your health for years.
Many patients are surprised to learn that their recovery actually begins before the first incision is made. Pre-surgical rehabilitation, or “prehab,” is a critical step that can significantly reduce the risk of complications after surgery. At Patients Choice, we encourage our patients to start therapy weeks before their scheduled procedure, focusing on building strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance.
When muscles are stronger, joints are more mobile, and the cardiovascular system is in better shape before surgery, the body is more resilient to the stress of an operation. This means less muscle atrophy during recovery, reduced swelling, and better overall healing. Prehab also familiarizes patients with the exercises they will need after surgery, making the transition to post-surgical rehab smoother and less intimidating.
Our pre-surgical rehab programs are tailored to each patient’s surgery type and health status. For example, someone preparing for a knee replacement will strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles. At the same time, a patient facing shoulder surgery will focus on rotator cuff conditioning and posture correction.
Prehab is not just about the body; it also boosts mental readiness. Patients who feel physically prepared often experience less anxiety about the surgery itself, which can contribute to a smoother recovery.
By investing time in prehab at Patients Choice, residents can set themselves up for faster healing, fewer complications, and a more substantial return to their daily routines.
How soon should I start pre-surgical rehab?
Ideally, you should begin as soon as your surgeon recommends, which may be several weeks before surgery.
How long does post-surgical rehab last?
The duration varies by procedure, but most patients participate for 6 to 12 weeks, with adjustments as needed.
Is rehab painful?
Some discomfort is normal, but our therapists work to keep you comfortable while safely challenging your body.
Whether you are preparing for an upcoming surgery or looking to recover as quickly and safely as possible after a procedure, choosing the right rehabilitation partner can make all the difference. At Patients Choice, we have helped countless residents regain their strength, mobility, and independence through customized pre- and post-surgical rehab programs.
Every patient’s journey is unique, which is why our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We combine advanced therapy techniques with one-on-one attention, guiding you through each stage of your recovery. From the moment you walk into our clinic, our team will focus on your goals, comfort, and long-term health.
The earlier you start, the better your results. Pre-surgical rehab strengthens your body to handle the stress of surgery and speeds up your recovery. In contrast, post-surgical rehab ensures you heal properly and confidently return to your daily life. We also coordinate closely with your surgeon, primary care provider, and any specialists involved to ensure your rehab plan is as seamless and effective as possible.
Your recovery is too significant to leave to chance. Choose a team that understands not only the science of rehabilitation but also the lifestyle, pace, and needs of residents.
