Surgery is only part of the healing process—how you prepare beforehand and recover afterward determines your long-term outcome. At All Fit Physical Therapy in Lynbrook, NY, we offer comprehensive pre- and post-surgical rehab to help you regain strength, restore mobility, and get back to life faster and more confidently. Whether you’re recovering from joint replacement, spine surgery, or a sports-related procedure, our therapists create a customized plan that minimizes pain, prevents complications, and supports long-term recovery.
Why Rehab Matters Before and After Surgery
Recovering without expert guidance often leads to stiffness, weakness, or setbacks. Some people push too hard too soon; others avoid movement and lose critical strength. A structured rehab program ensures safe healing, progressive movement, and faster return to daily activities.
Our 3-Phase Surgical Rehab Program
Phase 1: Pre-Surgery Preparation (Prehab)
Preparing your body before surgery improves your chances of a smooth recovery. Prehab focuses on:
- Increasing flexibility and joint mobility
- Strengthening muscles to support healing
- Teaching safe movement patterns to protect your body post-op
Patients who complete prehab often experience less post-op pain, reduced swelling, and quicker recovery milestones.
Phase 2: Early Post-Surgical Recovery
Right after surgery, our focus is on:
- Managing pain and swelling
- Preventing stiffness and scar tissue buildup
- Reintroducing safe movement
- Training with assistive devices (if needed) to promote independence
Phase 3: Strength & Mobility Restoration
As you heal, therapy shifts to restoring strength, endurance, and confidence. This phase includes:
- Strength training and mobility exercises
- Manual therapy to address scar tissue and restrictions
- Balance and coordination drills
- Sport- or work-specific reconditioning
We guide you from basic movement all the way to high-level activity—safely and strategically.
The Risks of Skipping or Delaying Rehab
Delaying therapy or skipping it altogether can lead to:
- Prolonged stiffness and joint immobility
- Increased pain and swelling
- Higher risk of re-injury due to weakness
- Delayed return to normal life and activities
Every day without proper rehabilitation makes recovery harder and slower. The right plan shortens healing time and restores your independence faster.
