OVERVIEW

ABOUT POST-OP REHAB

Right after surgery, most people try to be “good patients.” They rest. They ice. They follow the sheet they were sent home with. Then real life shows up. Post-op rehab is there for that messy middle part. We help calm swelling, get motion back without forcing it, and rebuild strength that drops off fast when you protect one side. We also pay attention to the sneaky habits people pick up when they are guarding the area. Limping so you do not have to bend. Leaning to the good side without thinking. Turning the foot out. Clenching your stomach. Holding your breath every time you stand. Those habits can stick around long after the incision looks healed, and then your back, hips, or neck start complaining. Rehab keeps you moving forward while staying inside the rules your surgeon se

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the Chandler office or book online and select post-op rehab. Bring any instructions you were given, even if it is just a photo on your phone. If you do not have paperwork, bring the surgery date and the procedure name.

In the early phase, visits are usually closer together because stiffness and swelling can stack up fast. As you move better and recover well between sessions, visits often spread out.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We start with your restrictions so we do not guess or push the wrong thing. We check swelling, motion, and muscle control, then watch how you handle basics like walking, stairs, and standing from a chair.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

We start small on purpose, because early progress is about control, not intensity. Treatment may include gentle motion, light strengthening, and coaching for braces or slings, stairs, and everyday set-ups like getting into the car or finding a sleep position that works.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

We pay attention to what happens after you leave, including that next morning check. If a grocery run or a longer car ride makes swelling jump, we adjust and talk pacing so you do not get trapped in a flare cycle.

I had an outstanding experience over the past several months at the Chandler location after a meniscus repair surgery. Collin is a top notch Physical Therapist, and he seemed to know exactly how far to push me each week. Thanks to him and all of the incredible assistants, I am now back to 100%. If I ever do get injured again and need PT, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else but here.

I've been in to see Eric and team many times over the past 5 years for a variety of old athlete ailments and they fix me up every time. I go see them before I go to the Dr now. They are simply the best, and unfortunately I'll probably be back in the future 😁

What Are You Experiencing?

You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions

What if I feel better than I expected, can I speed things up?

It is normal to want to move faster when pain improves. The tricky part is that tissue healing and strength do not improve at the same pace. You can feel “pretty good” and still be at risk for doing too much.

Why does swelling show up later, not during the activity?

Swelling can lag behind what you did. You may feel okay during a walk, then notice puffiness that evening or the next morning. That does not always mean you harmed anything, but it does mean the load was high for your current phase.

What should I do if I keep walking differently even when it doesn’t hurt much?

A limp can turn into a habit. Sometimes it’s weakness. Sometimes it’s stiffness. Sometimes it’s just your brain staying cautious. We work on mechanics and control, then build strength so you walk normally when you are tired, not only when you first stand up.

How do I know if I’m pushing too hard at home?

Look at the next day. If you wake up more swollen, more stiff, or more sore and it does not settle within a day or two, you likely did too much. A common trap is feeling decent, doing a bunch of chores, then spending two days trying to calm things down again.

When should I stop and call the surgeon?

Call if you notice new drainage, increasing redness or warmth, fever, calf pain with swelling, or a sudden change that feels out of proportion. Those are not normal “rehab soreness” issues. They need medical guidance.

MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic."   - Josh Adams

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What sets MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE apart is that our physical therapists and orthopedists utilize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. That means care is guided by what we can actually see, not guesswork.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
