Post-Surgical Care Program
At Folsom Physical Therapy, we have an in depth understanding of the integration of health and healing. Our therapists guide recovery after a surgical procedure with the goal of restoring comfort, mobility and muscle function, and helping you return safely to pre-surgery activities.
How do our physical therapists help with post-surgical care?
Your physical therapist will minimize your discomfort and assist the early healing process through protective positioning, use of assistive devices, gentle massage, and guidance in pacing activity. Your therapist will also ensure stresses from the exercises do not exceed the strength of healing tissues during the rehabilitation process.
The sooner your therapist begins your post-surgical care, the easier it will be to influence the early stages of healing and minimize your discomfort. However, if you have missed out on early care, we can meet you where you are in your recovery and help you through the remainder of the healing process. Your therapist will guide your return to your former activity level through a personalized training program and manual treatment techniques.
