OVERVIEW
After surgery, the paperwork usually tells you what not to do. It does not always tell you how to live your day while you heal. That is where post-op rehab helps. One day, you feel okay and walk a little more. The next morning, you wake up swollen and stiff and wonder if you overdid it. You sit through a meal, and the first steps afterward feel rough. You catch yourself moving in strange ways, like keeping all your weight on the good side or holding your breath when you stand. Post-op rehab gives you a steady plan so you are not guessing. We work on swelling, motion, and strength that drops fast when you protect one side. We also clean up the compensation patterns, like limping, toeing out, leaning, or using your back to do what your hip or shoulder should do, because those habits can create new pain while the surgical site is improving.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Call the Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Goodyear, AZ, or book online. Bring any post-op instructions you received. If you do not have paperwork, bring the surgery date and the procedure name.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Post-op rehab usually starts with a short period of more frequent visits to get ahead of stiffness and swelling. After that, many patients shift into a build phase where visits spread out while homework increases. We set the timing based on your recovery between sessions and what your next-day symptoms look like.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We review your surgeon’s restrictions first, so nothing is a guess. We check swelling, range of motion, muscle control, and basic movement like walking, stairs, and standing from a chair. We also talk about what feels hardest at home, because that is often the best place to start.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Treatment starts with what is safe right now. That may include gentle motion work, light strengthening, and coaching for braces or slings, stairs, and daily set-ups like getting into the car or finding a sleep position you can tolerate.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
We track what happens after you leave, including the next morning. If swelling jumps after errands or a longer day on your feet, we adjust the plan and talk pacing. If you recover well, we progress you and add the next step.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

What Are You Experiencing?
You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If you are experiencing severe pain that is not intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions
What should I do if I feel “loose” during the day but stiff again at night?
That pattern is common. Movement can warm things up, then swelling and guarding show up later after you have been on it all day. We use short movement breaks, targeted exercises, and pacing so you keep gains instead of losing them every evening.
Why do I get sore in places that were not part of the surgery?
Your body will borrow movement from other areas when one spot feels weak or protected. That can mean extra work for your back, opposite hip, or neck. Rehab helps correct those patterns early so they do not become the next issue you have to deal with.
How do I handle a “good day” without setting myself back?
Treat it like a test, not a free pass. Add one thing, then judge it by how you feel the next morning. If swelling climbs or motion feels worse for more than a day, you did too much for your current phase.
How do you help with confidence, not just strength?
Confidence comes from clear boundaries and repeated success. We follow the protocol, practice the movements you actually need, and progress in small steps you can tolerate. Over time, your body stops bracing and starts moving normally again.
