Physical Therapy Before And After Surgery
Surgery is a big step — but what you do before and after can change everything about how well you heal. At Advancing Movement with Physical Therapy (AMPT) in Houston, we help you prepare for surgery and bounce back faster with customized pre- and post-operative therapy plans. Our goal is to strengthen your body, reduce pain and make sure you regain full function.
Our pre-operative physical therapy focuses on building strength and flexibility, so you go into your procedure in the best possible condition. Afterward, our post-operative care is designed to help you regain mobility, manage pain, and restore function safely and effectively, getting you back to your life sooner.
Why Pre-Operative Therapy Matters
Pre-op physical therapy sets you up for success. If you’re facing a procedure like a total knee replacement, pre-op PT helps reduce swelling, improve range of motion and strengthen key muscles before you go into the operating room.
Studies show that patients who do pre-op therapy often recover faster and have better outcomes than those who don’t.
Beyond the physical benefits, pre-operative therapy can also reduce stress and anxiety by preparing you for what to expect during your recovery.
Our therapists teach you gentle exercises, pain management strategies and ways to move safely before surgery day. It’s all about giving you the best possible foundation to heal well afterward.
What To Expect After Surgery
Get the information you need.
After surgery, your body needs guided movement to heal properly. Post-operative physical therapy focuses on restoring motion, rebuilding strength and minimizing scar tissue. At AMPT, we combine gentle manual therapy, personalized exercise and patient education to help you move safely and confidently. We know each procedure is unique, so we design your plan just for you.
We regularly treat patients recovering from:
- Knee and hip replacements
- Shoulder surgeries and rotator cuff repairs
- ACL reconstructions
- Back and neck surgeries
- Other orthopedic procedures
