Post-Operative Rehab FAQs

How soon after surgery should I start PT?

Start timing depends on your procedure and surgeon protocol. We can coordinate quickly once you are cleared.

Do you coordinate with surgeons?

Yes. We follow protocol timelines and adjust progression based on your surgical guidance and response.

Can post-op rehab transition into performance training?

Yes. We intentionally bridge rehab into higher-level training so return to activity is durable, not rushed.
