Our 3 Step Process For Post Surgical Rehab
-
Manage acute symptoms
Early intervention is aimed at reducing swelling, managing pain, restoring safe movement, and reintroducing weight bearing
-
Reintroduce Movement
Once acute symptoms are managed, we teach you how to safely reintroduce basic movement and begin working back towards the activities you love
-
Build Strength, Power, & Endurance
Once you have relearned all basic movement patterns we transition you into higher levels of training to return you to a state that is stronger than your pre-surgery self
Post-Surgical Rehab FAQs
-
As soon as your surgeon clears you — and earlier is almost always better. Early, guided movement protects your range of motion, prevents excessive stiffness, and sets the trajectory for the whole recovery. Don't wait weeks hoping it gets better on its own.
-
Some discomfort is normal — you're rehabbing a surgically repaired joint. But there's a difference between productive discomfort and harmful pain, and managing that line is our job. You'll never be pushed recklessly, and you'll always know why we're doing what we're doing.
-
It depends on the procedure — a meniscus trim is weeks, an ACL reconstruction is the better part of a year. What matters is hitting objective milestones, not just watching the calendar. We test, not guess, before clearing you back to sport or full activity.
-
Protocols are guidelines, not deadlines. Being "behind" usually means something specific needs addressing — stiffness, strength deficit, swelling management — not that you've failed. We find the limiter and attack it.
-
Your surgeon will typically send the referral directly, but California's direct access means you can also book with us on your own. Either way, we coordinate with your surgical team.
