Pre & Post operative care

Recovery doesn’t start after surgery, it often starts before

​

Surgery is only one step in your recovery. How you prepare and how you rehabilitate afterward determines your outcome.

​

We combine pre-operative preparation, post-operative rehabilitation, and performance-focused training to help you recover efficiently and return stronger, not just pain-free.

​

Whether you’re preparing for surgery or already recovering, our approach is designed to restore strength, rebuild confidence, and get you back to the activities that matter most.​

WHO THIS IS FOR

​

  • Preparing for an upcoming surgery and want to optimize recovery

  • Recently had surgery and looking to safely regain strength and mobility

  • Need guidance and 1:1 attention to progress through a post-op rehab protocol

  • Wanting to return to training, sport, or daily activity with confidence

  • Dealing with lingering stiffness, weakness, or movement limitations after surgery

  • Looking to reduce risk of re-injury and long-term setbacks

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

​

Most surgical rehab focuses on timelines and basic exercises.

​

Most programs separate rehab from long-term strength and performance.

​

We combine preparation, rehabilitation, and performance-focused training to help you recover efficiently and return stronger, not just pain-free.

​

Our approach ensures you’re not just recovering from surgery, but building the strength, control, and capacity needed for long-term success.

What your plan may include​​

​​

  • Pre-operative strength and mobility preparation

  • Post-operative rehabilitation and progression planning

  • Manual therapy and soft tissue treatment

  • Mobility restoration and joint-specific work

  • Strength training and progressive loading

  • Movement retraining and return-to-activity progressions

  • Programming aligned with your surgical timeline and goals

COMMON CONDITIONS WE HELP WITH

  • ACL reconstruction and knee surgeries

  • Hip arthroscopy and labral repairs

  • Shoulder surgeries (labrum, rotator cuff)

  • Ankle and foot surgeries

  • Spine-related procedures

  • Post-surgical stiffness and mobility limitations

  • Strength deficits and asymmetries after surgery

  • Return-to-sport or return-to-training progression

pre-operative preparation

​

Recovery begins before surgery.

​

Pre-operative care focuses on building strength, maintaining mobility, and establishing movement patterns that will carry into your rehabilitation process. We also prepare you for what to expect post-operatively: including early mobility, weight-bearing progression, and initial exercise strategies.

​

Entering surgery with a stronger, more prepared baseline helps preserve function, reduce setbacks, and create a smoother transition into rehabilitation.

post-operative rehabilitation

​

Rehabilitation after surgery is a structured, phase-based process; not a one-size-fits-all timeline.

​

Early phases focus on restoring mobility, managing symptoms, and gradually reintroducing weightbearing and basic movement. As healing progresses, we advance into strength development, movement retraining, and higher-level functional tasks.

​

For lower body procedures, this may include progression from walking to running and impact-based activity. For upper body procedures, we focus on restoring strength, control, and tolerance for load.

​

Each phase is guided by your recovery and performance — ensuring you progress safely while building the capacity required for long-term return to activity.
