Heal Faster. Move Better. Thrive After Surgery

 

Facing surgery can feel overwhelming. Whether preparing for an upcoming procedure or working through recovery, our experienced physical therapy team is here to guide you every step of the way.

 

At Hamilton Physical Therapy, we partner closely with your surgeon to ensure your care is safe, effective, and tailored to help you get back to living life on your terms.

 

 

Why Pre- and Post-Surgical Therapy Matters

 

Pre-surgical physical therapy (also known as “prehab”) helps you:

 

• Strengthen muscles and improve mobility before surgery

• Build endurance to support a faster recovery

• Understand your post-surgical rehab plan before the procedure

• Minimize pain and stiffness before going into surgery

 

Post-surgical physical therapy supports you after your procedure by:

 

• Reducing pain and inflammation

• Restoring movement and joint flexibility

• Strengthening muscles and improving balance

• Guiding you safely through each phase of healing

• Helping you regain full function and return to your daily activities

 

 

Surgeries We Commonly Treat

 

Our licensed therapists follow your surgeon’s specific protocol to ensure consistent, evidence-based care throughout your recovery. We routinely support patients recovering from procedures such as:

 

• ACL reconstruction and knee arthroscopies

• Total knee and hip replacements

• Rotator cuff and other shoulder repairs

• Spine surgeries (including discectomy and spinal fusion)

• Foot and ankle surgeries (e.g., plantar fascia release, Achilles tendon repair)

• Elbow and hand surgeries (e.g., carpal tunnel, tendon repairs)

 

You’ll receive one-on-one care from providers who understand the surgical process and know how to help you heal safely and confidently.

When you begin your pre- or post-op physical therapy, you’ll receive:

 

• A personalized evaluation and treatment plan

• Clear guidance on your exercises and home program

• Ongoing communication with your surgeon

• A therapy team that encourages you and celebrates your progress

 

From your first appointment through your final milestone, we’re here to make sure your recovery is as smooth and successful as possible.
