The Importance of Post-Op Physical Therapy

Many patients believe that once the surgery is over, the hard part is done. However, physical therapy is where the real work of recovery begins.

Physical therapy helps restore range of motion, rebuilds muscle strength around the new or repaired joint, and prevents scar tissue from forming improperly.

Skipping PT can lead to permanent stiffness and suboptimal surgical outcomes. Always follow your prescribed rehabilitation protocol strictly!
