What Is Post-Surgical Rehabilitation?
Post-surgical rehabilitation is focused physical therapy that begins after an operation to restore strength, range of motion, and function. A guided recovery program helps you heal more predictably, manage swelling and discomfort, and return to daily life safely — often faster than recovering on your own.
Surgeries We Commonly Treat
Our therapists work with patients recovering from a wide range of orthopedic and joint procedures, including:
- Total knee and hip replacement
- Rotator cuff and other shoulder repairs
- ACL reconstruction and knee arthroscopy
- Spinal surgery and discectomy
- Fracture fixation and hardware removal
What to Expect During Your Recovery
Your first visit is a thorough evaluation — we review your surgeon's protocol, assess your current motion and strength, and build a plan around your goals. Sessions are one-on-one with your therapist and progress at a pace that respects healing tissue. You also get a simple home program so progress continues between visits.
How Soon Should You Start PT After Surgery?
Timing depends on your procedure and your surgeon's guidance — for some surgeries therapy begins within days, for others after a few weeks. The best step is to call us as soon as your surgery is scheduled so we can coordinate with your surgeon and reserve your spot.
Insurance Coverage for Post-Surgical PT
Medicare Part B and most major insurance plans cover physical therapy after surgery. We verify your benefits before your first visit and explain any expected costs up front, so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does post-surgical rehabilitation take?
It varies by procedure and individual healing, but many patients attend therapy for several weeks to a few months. We reassess your progress regularly and adjust your plan as you improve.
Do I need a referral for post-surgical physical therapy?
In Georgia you can begin physical therapy without a physician referral, though we coordinate closely with your surgeon. Some insurance plans do require a referral — we confirm this when we verify your benefits.
Will physical therapy be painful after surgery?
Therapy should challenge you without causing harm. Some discomfort is normal as you rebuild motion, but your therapist works within safe limits and adjusts based on how you respond.
Can I do post-surgical rehab if my surgery was elsewhere?
Yes. We welcome patients regardless of where surgery was performed — just bring your surgeon's post-operative protocol and we will take it from there.
