Rebuild Movement With a Plan Around You.
After surgery, daily activities and work tasks may feel different. Your rehabilitation starts with understanding the procedure, your current abilities, and the instructions that guide your recovery.
Your therapist reviews your referral and relevant restrictions, evaluates your movement and function, and discusses your goals. Treatment is matched to the healing stage and surgical guidance. Your plan may include mobility exercises, strengthening, hands-on care when appropriate, and practice with daily tasks.
