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.

Just a few of our customized post-surgical physical therapy treatments include:

  • UCL repairs (Tommy John Surgery)
  • Elbow reconstructive surgeries
  • Cervical and lumbar laminectomy and fusion
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery
  • Knee-reconstruction surgeries
  • Meniscus repairs
  • Carpal tunnel release
  • Stress fractures
  • Ankle ligament repairs
  • Ankle fractures
  • Ankle fusion
  • Labrum repairs
  • Wrist fractures
  • Forearm fractures
  • Hand tendon repairs
  • Rotator cuff repair and other shoulder related 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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Naperville ★★★★★ I started going to the Mahwah Excel PT location since June to rehab a broken bone in my hand and had an awesome experience with Bryan Del Rio. He is professional, highly trained, and competent. The entire staff is friendly, caring, and professional. I highly recommend the Excel Mahwah location.Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield ★★★★★ After suffering a severe ankle sprain this winter, I was fearful that I would never wear my high heels again. But after a great experience with Excel Physical Therapy, I have been able to wear my heels with confidence and without pain. My Physical Therapist, Mike made me feel very comfortable from the get-go. My exercise regime was tailored to my injury. The regime varied and combined massage, exercise, stretching and cold packs. I was seeing result immediately. I actually enjoyed going there! In addition to Mike, the staff: Jon, Kelsey and Joslyn contributed to a great environment filled with laughter and motivation. Oddly enough, I was sad to graduate but happy to have been given exercises to do at home. I will definitely stop by to visit my new friends when I’m in town and I will don my spiked heels when doing so. 🙂Response from the ownerWe are so glad to hear you’re feeling better, and even more importantly, that you’re back in your heels! ★★★★★ So happy that we found ABC!

Great time and my shoulder feels much better. Thank you.Response from the ownerThank you Mauro! We’re so grateful to have you as a part of the EXCEL Westfield family. ★★★★★ We have been taking my son here for about four months and I can’t say enough good things. We see Miss Demi for speech therapy and she is amazing. She really takes the time to communicate and connect with my child. She is also very positive and patient. All the people at the front desk are great too and I really love how easy it is to call and talk to someone directly. I would recommend.Response from the ownerThank you Jillian! ★★★★★ In a matter of a few weeks, twice a day doing the exercises Caroline Trezona (Cary Green Level Rd location) set out for me, the shoulder pain from my 25-year-old rotator cuff rupture is all but gone. This relieves me from having to endure a surgery that would have put my right arm entirely out of action for months at a time when it would be an impossible hardship. I’ve returned to see her now for help with my age-and-injury-weakened knee (40-year-old ACL rupture) and again, in just a few weeks, my balance is very remarkably improved.Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Cary ★★★★★ The staff at Ivy Rehab in Island Park are the Stanley Cup Champions, Super Bowl Champions and World Series Champions of Physical Therapy.

I would highly recommend Ivy Rehab!Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Conshohocken ★★★★★ We’ve had the pleasure of working with Wendy for several years. She’s worked with my son during his time in speech therapy and now works with him on the Wilson Reading Program. My son has grown immensely in confidence with all the strategies she has helped him acquire over the years. His apraxia is barely noticeable to most and his reading level continues to increase. I would recommend her to anyone in need. Her patience while dealing with the child’s frustrations is phenomenal and she will find a way that works for them that will allow them to reach their goals. We are truly blessed to have her as our sons teacher.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share your experience, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab PT, Virginia Beach ★★★★★ The team at Ivy Rehab Naperville is fantastic! I have been to other physical therapy centers over the years. The treatment I receive at Ivy Rehab was the best. Chandree and AK truly care for their patients, listen and treat in a customized and best way possible. The pain I used to have for years has been reduced significantly. Niso also follows up and accommodates the patients request for appointments. Overall a fantastic team.Thank you Ivy Rehab Naperville Team and keep up the good work!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, Naperville ★★★★★ Three months ago I walked into Excel Physical therapy because my knee had been bothering me for awhile. I knew that I was able to receive physical therapy without a prescription from a doctor and so I was able to make a consultation appointment on the spot. Jon took the time to hear my past medical history and come up with an extensive plan in order to start rehabbing my knee. He always starts each session with manual therapy followed by exercises that he updates frequently. He has well trained physical therapy aides working in the clinic that supervise all of the exercises and always help to keep me motivated. In addition, Jon has helped me figure out how to make changes to my everyday routine that also add to the improvement of my knee. Jon and his staff are amazing and I highly recommend Excel Physical Therapy in Westfield.Response from the ownerThank you, Debbie! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. ★★★★★ First of all the place is clean, very important. This is a straightforward rehab place. You set your goals and they work with you to reach them. The staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and pleasant.
