Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Accelerating Your Recovery Journey

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Accelerating Your Recovery Journey

Surgery is a major milestone—but true recovery begins afterward. At Orlando City Health and Wellness, our post-surgical rehabilitation program is designed to help you heal faster, regain function, and restore independence following a wide range of procedures.

Whether you've had orthopedic surgery, spinal surgery, or a soft tissue repair, our skilled physical therapists are here to guide you every step of the way.

Why Post-Surgical Rehab Is Essential

Rehabilitation isn't just about movement—it's about returning to life. Without it, patients often experience:

  • Prolonged pain and stiffness

  • Delayed healing

  • Muscle atrophy

  • Reduced mobility and independence

At our clinic, we develop customized rehab plans that focus on your goals—whether that’s walking without pain, returning to work, or playing your favorite sport again.

The Phases of Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Our evidence-based rehab protocols follow a progressive plan, typically in the following stages:

🛌 Early Recovery Phase

Focus: Pain management, swelling reduction, and gentle range-of-motion exercises to prevent stiffness.

🏃 Strength & Stability Phase

Focus: Strengthening surrounding muscles, restoring joint mobility, and reintroducing safe movement patterns.

🏋️‍♂️ Functional Training Phase

Focus: Balance training, endurance building, and return-to-activity exercises tailored to your lifestyle or sport.

🧠 Long-Term Wellness

Focus: Preventing re-injury and supporting long-term function through education and self-care strategies.

Common Surgeries We Support

Our therapists specialize in rehab following:

  • Total knee and hip replacements

  • ACL and rotator cuff repairs

  • Spinal surgeries (fusion, discectomy)

  • Shoulder arthroscopy

  • Fracture fixation surgeries

No matter your procedure, we build a program tailored to your surgical protocol, physical condition, and long-term goals.
