Post-surgical recovery
The weeks after surgery are when rehabilitation earns its keep. We work with post-operative knees, hips, shoulders, and more, following your surgeon's protocol and translating it into a week-by-week plan you can actually live with. Priya leads this work.
How it tends to show up
- A discharge sheet of exercises and no one to ask what 'as tolerated' means
- A new knee or hip and a healthy respect for what it just went through
- Swelling, stiffness, and a to-do list your body keeps vetoing
- Wanting to do this right the first time, because there is no second first time
How we approach it
The core of post-surgical care: protocol-guided progression, hands-on work for the structures around the surgery, and steady recalibration as you heal. Priya spent a decade in hospital orthopaedics doing exactly this.
Once your surgeon clears soft-tissue work, massage can support the muscles working overtime around the healing site.
How we work with your surgeon
Your surgical team sets the guardrails: what is protected, what is permitted, and when. Our job is everything inside those guardrails: making each permitted week count, watching for the signs that something needs their attention, and reporting progress back when they ask for it.
With your consent we send progress notes at the milestones most surgeons care about. Recovery goes better when everyone is reading the same page, and we are organized so that they are.
