Surgery can be a daunting prospect and the physical pain after is just one of the many issues people may face. One way to manage your pain afterwards is with physical therapy. PTs specialize in restoring movement and reducing impairments caused by the surgery through specific exercises and modalities. Working with them can help you regain strength and speed up the healing process as well as prevent any long-term movement difficulties. Additionally, physical therapists can guide you in other methods of pain management such as relaxation techniques and breathing exercises that help reduce post-surgical pain and get you back doing all the activities that you love to do!
