When Would I Need Pre and Post Surgical Rehabilitation?

Whether it's a hip replacement or an ACL restoration, the VSPT specialists work with the patients and their surgeon to prepare the body for surgery and ensure the patient is in the best possible condition for recovery.

 

Typically, pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation is prescribed to orthopaedic patients. This could be anyone undergoing a surgical procedure that involves the following:

 

  • Foot and ankle

  • Hand, wrist, and elbow

  • Shoulder

  • Hip

  • Knee

  • Neck, back, and spine

 

Regardless of the surgical procedure, pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation accelerates your recovery and ensures you recover quickly and healthily.
