How post-op rehab works
We follow your surgeon's protocol phase by phase: protecting healing tissue early, restoring range of motion, then rebuilding strength and function. Your therapist communicates with your surgeon's office and tracks your progress against the milestones they expect.
Most insurance plans cover post-surgical physical therapy with a referral from your surgeon, which you'll usually receive before discharge. Here's what to bring to your first visit.
Prehab: get stronger before surgery
Patients who do physical therapy before a joint replacement generally recover faster afterward. If you have surgery scheduled, ask us about a short prehab program.
Frequently asked questions
When should I start physical therapy after surgery?
Most surgeons want you to start within a few days to two weeks, depending on the procedure. Call us as soon as you have a surgery date so we can reserve your post-op slots.
Can I do my rehab in Bayfield if my surgery was in Durango or Farmington?
Yes. We work with surgeons across the Four Corners region and follow their written protocols. Many of our patients had surgery elsewhere and rehab here to avoid the drive.
