Frequently Asked Questions
Why is post-surgery rehabilitation important?
Post-surgery rehabilitation promotes proper healing, reduces pain, restores mobility, and helps you regain strength and function. It also prevents complications like stiffness, muscle atrophy, and blood clots.
When should I start post-surgery rehabilitation?
The timeline depends on the type of surgery and your doctor’s recommendation. Some rehabilitation begins immediately after surgery, while others may start after an initial healing period.
How long does rehabilitation take?
The duration varies based on the surgery, individual healing rates, and personal goals. It can range from a few weeks to several months.
What happens during a rehabilitation session?
Sessions typically include a mix of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, pain management techniques, and education on safe movement and recovery practices.
Will rehabilitation be painful?
Some discomfort is normal, especially early on, as you regain strength and mobility. However, your therapist will ensure exercises are manageable and modify them as needed.
Do I need a referral for post-surgery physical therapy?
In many cases, a referral from your surgeon or primary care doctor is required, but this depends on your insurance.
Can I do rehabilitation exercises at home?
Yes, your therapist will provide a customized home exercise program to complement in-clinic sessions and accelerate your recovery.
What if I skip rehabilitation?
Skipping rehab can lead to slower recovery, reduced mobility, chronic pain, and a higher risk of complications such as stiffness or re-injury.
Is rehabilitation covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover post-surgery rehabilitation, but coverage varies. Check with your provider for details. We also accept self-pay patients.
How do I know if I’m progressing?
Your therapist will regularly assess your progress, including improvements in strength, range of motion, and pain levels. Goals will be adjusted as you advance.
What should I bring to my rehabilitation sessions?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement, bring any assistive devices (e.g., crutches, braces), and any paperwork or instructions from your doctor.
What happens if I miss a session?
Missing a session may slow your progress. Inform your therapist as soon as possible to reschedule and stay on track.
Can I return to sports or work after rehabilitation?
