Post-operative care

Post-operative therapy of orthopaedic conditions is highly scripted, work intensive and repetitive. It requires a lot of patience and persistence from both caregiver and patient. I work closely with the patient’s surgeon so that the patient’s unique surgical repair is both protected and progressed in an appropriate manner. My post-op approaches to care are main stream and aligned with traditional methods of musculoskeletal therapy.

• Common post-operative cases requiring therapy that I see in-office:
• Micro surgery (discectomy) of the spine
• Spinal fusion
• Shoulder labrum repair
• Rotator cuff repair
• Ulnar collateral ligament repair (elbow)
• ACL repair/meniscus repair (knee)
• Hip labrum repair
• Hip (Femoral acetabular) impingement repair
