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

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.

After completing my therapy I finally feel back to normal. The entire experience was excellent. All of the staff were very kind and professional. The facility was very clean and inviting. ★★★★★ I came to Ivy Rehab for post op rehabilitation for hip arthroscopy back in December and I worked with Lauryn and Maria for 4 months. They were excellent in what they did! they kept me on target with the protocol. My surgeon was very pleased with the progress. I will also say the whole staff is very friendly. After the 4th month of PT I moved to Europe and was very concerned with properly transitioning my protocol to a new PT. Lauryn went above and beyond to make sure the transition goes smoothly and made sure to check in periodically on the progress. Ivy Rehab and the team deserve more than 5 stars!Thank you for what you have done for me, It was a pleasure working with you!Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Hoboken – Midtown js_loader
