When it comes to physical therapy, it is easy to see why it would be needed after a surgical procedure. But did you know that it can be very useful in preparing your body for what comes after your surgery?

Key Takeaways: Pre-Surgical Physical Therapy (Prehab)
* Prehab prepares your body, mind, and home environment before orthopedic surgery.
* Clinical benefits include reduced pre-surgery pain, less muscle atrophy, and faster post-op recovery.
* Patients learn how to use crutches/walkers safely and review recovery milestones beforehand.
* Many patients across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California can start prehab immediately without a doctor’s referral.

No two people arrive at physical therapy the same way.
Some are recovering from surgery, some are relearning how to trust their body after childbirth, some are coming back from an accident or getting ready to return to work, and some simply want to stay active and independent as they age.
What they share is a goal: getting back to the people, activities, and routines that matter most. This September we're showing the personalized programs, credentialed clinicians, and individualized plans that make that possible, no matter which chapter a patient is starting.
