Post-Surgical Rehab

Recovering from surgery takes more than rest — it takes a guided plan to rebuild strength, motion, and confidence in the area that was operated on. Post-Surgical Rehab at Summit Physical Therapy is designed to support patients through each phase of healing, from early protective movement to a fuller return to daily activity and function.

What This Service Addresses

Joint Replacements — regaining range of motion and stability after hip, knee, or shoulder procedures.
Ligament and Tendon Repairs — restoring strength and control following procedures like ACL or rotator cuff repair.
Spinal Surgery Recovery — guiding safe movement patterns and gradual loading after spine procedures.
General Post-Operative Stiffness or Weakness — addressing swelling, limited motion, and muscle deconditioning that often follow surgery.

How Care Is Approached

Recovery timelines and precautions vary by procedure, so care is paced to match each stage of healing as directed by the patient's surgical team. Sessions may include guided stretching, progressive strengthening, and movement retraining to help patients return to normal activity safely.

Who Provides This Care

Dr. Priya Nair, DPT, serves as Clinic Director and oversees post-surgical rehab planning. Jordan Blake, PTA, works alongside patients to carry out exercise progressions and support day-to-day recovery goals.
