Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Recovering from orthopedic surgery requires more than time. It requires expert, progressive rehabilitation delivered by clinicians who understand surgical procedures, tissue healing timelines, and the biomechanical demands of return to full function.

At Progression PT, our Post-Surgical Rehabilitation program in Princeton and Somerville, NJ is designed to guide patients through every phase of recovery, from the earliest days of post-operative healing through full return to work, sport, and daily life.

 


 

We work closely with orthopedic surgeons and spine specialists throughout central New Jersey to ensure that rehabilitation begins at the right time, progresses at the appropriate pace, and aligns with the surgeon’s specific protocol and the patient’s individual healing response. Our post-surgical rehabilitation is not a one size fits all program. It is a carefully individualized process that evolves with your recovery.

 


 

Our post-surgical rehabilitation program is designed to:

  • Manage post-operative pain and swelling
  • Restore range of motion and joint mobility
  • Rebuild strength and muscular endurance
  • Retrain neuromuscular control and proprioception
  • Address movement compensations
  • Progressively return patients to their prior level of function

 

We use a combination of:

  • Manual therapy
  • Therapeutic exercise
  • Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training
  • Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
  • Edema management
  • Scar tissue mobilization
  • Functional movement training

 


 

Common post-surgical conditions we rehabilitate include:

  • ACL reconstruction
  • Rotator cuff repair
  • Labral repair (shoulder and hip)
  • Total knee replacement
  • Total hip replacement
  • Lumbar and cervical spine surgery
  • Shoulder replacement
