Post operative rehabilitation
When you have surgery to any part of the body, you are inflicting necessary trauma to the tissues and joints in order to repair the damage. This typically results in pain, swelling, lack of mobility and decreased strength. Physical therapy is essential to improve these symptoms and restore your ability to move as you had before surgery.

- Utilization of various hands-on techniques, as well as passive treatments can help to reduce pain for faster recovery and better outcomes.
