Treatment after surgery

Physical therapy after surgery is extremely important for ensuring a full recovery. In addition to many other benefits, post-surgical rehabilitation can also help you regain full range of motion in the affected area. Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy specializes in post-surgical physical therapy for total joint replacements and partial tears of muscles and ligaments. In addition, surgeries related to hips, knees, arms, hands, shoulders, and feet/ankles often require physical therapy for optimal recovery.

Post-surgical physical therapy doesn’t just help ensure proper recovery, it also helps patients get moving again after surgery. Many times, surgery can make you feel debilitated and leads to long stretches at home where you live a mostly sedentary lifestyle. Physical therapy after surgery helps to get you out of the house, back into the world and being social again.

  • UCL repairs (Tommy John Surgery)
  • Elbow reconstructive surgeries
  • Cervical and lumbar laminectomy and fusion
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery
  • Knee-reconstruction surgeries

  • Carpal tunnel release
  • Stress fractures

Research has shown that attending as little as one pre-operative physical therapy session can help reduce the amount of post-operative care and lead to faster and more efficient recoveries.

From the girls at the front desk to all the therapists. I highly recommend them!Response from the ownerHi Katie, thank you for the feedback! We are so happy to hear that your experience has been so positive! ★★★★★ I started working with Hannah Kirkman recently and she is AWESOME! She’s very easy to talk to and fun to work with. I think it’s really important to be able to connect well with your therapist and Hannah and I hit it off right out of the gate! She’s very knowledgeable and explains everything we’re doing clearly so I always know what’s going on. Definitely recommend! ★★★★★ My experience at Ivy with Dan and team has been excellent thus far. I started going to pre-hab for knee surgery and they got me stronger in a short amount of time. I was then able to have surgery over the summer, which was ideal for my life obligations. I’m now in more frequent rehab and my sessions, though challenging, are a pleasure. The facility is clean and welcoming, I receive the amount of attention I require, and there is a lot of encouragement and positivity. I’m 2 weeks and change out from surgery and I’ve already made significant progress thanks to Dan and team. Every employee at this location is extremely warm and helpful and I’m very grateful to be in such good handsResponse from the ownerThank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Blue Bell – South ★★★★★ This place is pretty darn good!! I got injured at work and had to go here for PT and I’ll tell you, Christine knows her job!! And the lady at the front desk greets you with a smile everytime you walk in. Great place and highly recommended!! Thanks for the help, you guys are awesome.Response from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback! Thank you for taking the time to share your review! – The team at Progress PT, Philadelphia ★★★★☆ Wonderful speech therapy experience! Mr. Mike has helped our son so much. While we’re LOVING the actual speech component, the disconnect between front desk staff/billing/Ivy Rehab is fairly confusing and makes the billing component difficult. That being said, Nikki Huntsberger is a rockstar and really knows what she’s doing. Thankful for her assistance with the UHCCF grant & her willingness to explain billing when nobody else knows what’s going on 🙃 Overall a great experience and we’re so so thankful for the services we’re receiving!!Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at ABC Pediatric Therapy, West Chester Township! ★★★★★ My son has been going to Theraplay at Bensalem Pa since he was 6 months old. He is now 3. The care that the therapists give here is second to none. Only one word can describe them, AMAZING. All the staff are amazing and so kind. I am so happy that my son was discharged by his doctor. But, at the same time my wife and I are troubled since our son will not see the amazing staff here.They are like family to us and they truly help and love your kids. They are so easy to work with and I can’t say one negative thing about them.Most importantly they have helped my son is so many ways. They have given us tools that I never knew existed which helped my son walk, talk, and made his hand surgery a success. They know how to deal with special need kids and were so kind to my son. My boy is autistic level 2 and he loves his therapist there. When he was having a rough time they comforted him so much. To the point that he could not wait to go there. Personally I think they helped him socialize more too.Please, don’t worry if your kids go here, they will get exceptional care. They will be treated with love and your kid, I guarantee, will want to come to Theraplay 😀Not only are the therapists amazing but the office staff make your life so easy. Scheduling appointments is so easy with them. They work with your schedule too and bend over backwards to make your life easierTo all the staff at Theraplay THANK YOU SO MUCH. You truly helped my son achieve things that he would have not achieved. From the bottom of our hearts thank you and we love you like family.If my son needs anything else down the road I will definitely use your amazing services again 😀We will definitely be visiting you in the future 😀 thanks againLoveChuck and ChrissyResponse from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback!

Should have come here first! Thanks to my docs Alex and Kaitlin, PA Minh, and support staff Candice, Laura, and Michelle! They all took the time get to the root of my pain, allowed me as much time as I needed to help myself, and gave me as much hands-on time as my body needed each time I walked in. “Graduating” is bittersweet. I leave a more educated and stronger person, but I will miss my PTW family!js_loader
