Hip and knee replacement surgeries are some of the most common operations performed in the U.S., with about 1 million completed each year. And each one of these patients shares one thing in common: Their desire to get back to the level of work, play and function they enjoyed before first experiencing joint pain. 

Our physical therapy clinics treat a variety of conditions for pre- and post-surgical therapy. Here are some common ones:

Pre-Surgical Therapy Conditions:

1. Joint Replacements: Preparing for hip, knee, or shoulder replacements by strengthening muscles and improving flexibility.
2. Spinal Surgeries: Conditioning the body for procedures like spinal fusions or laminectomies.
3. ACL Reconstruction: Strengthening the muscles around the knee to improve outcomes post-surgery.
4. Rotator Cuff Repair: Preparing the shoulder muscles for surgery.
5. Cardiac Surgeries: Enhancing cardiovascular fitness and overall strength before heart surgeries.

Post-Surgical Therapy Conditions:

1. Joint Replacements: Rehabilitation to restore mobility and strength after hip, knee, or shoulder replacements.
2. Spinal Surgeries: Recovery and strengthening after procedures like spinal fusions or laminectomies.
3. ACL Reconstruction: Regaining knee function and strength post-surgery.
4. Rotator Cuff Repair: Restoring shoulder mobility and strength after surgery.
5. Cardiac Surgeries: Improving cardiovascular fitness and overall strength post-surgery.
6. Fracture Repairs: Rehabilitation to restore function and strength after bone fractures.
7. Abdominal Surgeries: Strengthening core muscles and improving mobility after surgeries like hernia repairs.
8. Breast Surgery: Restoring shoulder and arm function after mastectomy or reconstructive surgery.

These conditions are often treated with personalized treatment plans that include exercises, aquatic therapy, manual therapy, pain management techniques, and education to support recovery and improve overall function.
