Recovering from orthopedic surgery—whether it's for an ACL tear, rotator cuff repair, meniscus trim, labral reconstruction, or tendon repair—can be challenging without the right support. Post-surgical pain, swelling, stiffness, and weakness can delay your return to training and daily activity if not properly addressed.

At Premier Care Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, we specialize in post-surgical sports rehab. Our Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and Doctor of Physical Therapy work closely with athletes and active individuals to create personalized recovery plans that support healing, restore mobility, and build the strength needed to return to peak performance.

 

How Physical Therapy Can Help with Post-Surgical Recovery:

Our tailored treatment plans are designed to promote healing, reduce pain, and rebuild strength with a clear path toward full function. Treatment options may include:

  • Manual Therapy – Hands-on techniques to reduce scar tissue, improve flexibility, and restore joint mobility
  • Therapeutic Exercises – Progressive strengthening and stretching routines to safely rebuild muscle and stability
  • Gait & Movement Training – Restores proper walking, running, and functional movement mechanics
  • Sport-Specific Drills & Return-to-Play Prep – Gradual reintroduction to athletic activity with performance-focused training
  • Modalities & Pain Relief Techniques – Use of ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and hot/cold therapy to reduce inflammation and enhance healing

 

What Happens If Left Untreated?

Delaying or skipping post-surgical rehab can lead to:

  • Chronic Pain & Weakness – Incomplete healing can cause long-term discomfort and reduced strength
  • Limited Mobility & Performance – Stiffness and poor muscle control can impact your ability to return to sport
  • Increased Risk of Re-Injury – Weak or unbalanced joints are more likely to be re-injured during physical activity
  • Delayed Recovery – Healing slows without structured, progressive movement and strengthening
  • Compensatory Injuries – Improper movement due to surgical limitations can lead to issues in nearby joints and muscles
