Do you have an upcoming surgery?
Post-surgical rehabilitation can help you recover faster!
As part of their recovery from surgery, many people engage in post-surgical (aka post-operative) rehabilitation exercises. Our physical therapists are up to date on the most advanced post-operative protocols that ensure you heal properly and recover quickly!
If you are seeking post-surgical rehabilitation in Tewksbury, MA, our therapists at Advance Orthopedic and Sports Therapy will work with you to develop a plan that addresses your specific needs. In addition, our therapist will address your general fitness goals, and make sure while rehabilitating you are taking care of your general strengthening.

What are the advantages of post-surgical rehabilitation?
Regardless of the type of surgery you have, our physical therapists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess the surgical site and the areas that may be affected by your surgery. We examine the whole person to identify all the factors that can influence the outcome of your surgery.
Our experienced team will help identify any impairment you may be dealing with and teach you effective strategies for resolving these limitations. Early on, the emphasis will be on alleviating pain and minimizing swelling. We will also address any restrictions or limitations in your range of motion to prioritize getting you moving with as little pain as possible.
Our clinicians use manual therapy techniques and modalities to help manage your pain. We will advise you on managing postoperative pain at home with compression, ice, and elevation.
As you progress, we will shift our focus to restoring your mobility and strength. We will incorporate braces, splints, and assistive devices to assist you in your recovery and any other strategy that can help you get back to your normal function sooner than later!
Your rehabilitation plan will include recommendations for any lifestyle and/or dietary changes you can implement to improve your long-term health, prevent future damage, and avoid additional surgery.
Our physical therapists will create a customized recovery plan to help you heal and return to your normal daily life.
Minimizing the need for medication after surgery
One of the most compelling reasons to choose post-surgical physical therapy in Tewksbury, MA is the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for prescription pain medications such as opioids.
Physical therapists are particularly effective at implementing treatments that help alleviate pain. Our therapists are up to date on the most advanced strategies for pain control, including manual therapy techniques, dry needling treatments, modalities (i.e., electrical stimulation, vasopneumatic therapy), taping, splinting, and braces to alleviate pain and maximize function.
The opioid crisis continues to grip the United States, affecting people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. As a result, the CDC recommends that people use physical therapy instead of prescription pain relievers whenever possible. Our therapists have extensive experience working with people after surgery and use proven techniques for lasting pain relief.
Our physical therapists will work with you at Advance Orthopedic and Sports Therapy to minimize your postoperative pain so you can get back to doing what you love!
