You Had Surgery–But You’re Still Struggling with Pain Many people mistakenly believe that surgery is a cure-all: that once they work through their rehabilitation, they’ll be back to their old selves. While this is true sometimes, other times, people find that they’re still struggling with pain or limited mobility after a surgical procedure. If this has been your experience, then know that physical therapy may be the tool you need to find lasting relief. Just as the team at Fritz Physical Therapy can help people avoid or delay surgery, we can also ensure your surgery provides you with a successful outcome. What can we do? • Manual therapy helps with pain and range of motion restrictions. These hands-on techniques can gradually help restore your mobility over time. • Mobility exercises take things a step further in terms of restoring your range of motion. • Strengthening exercises will help build muscular strength and endurance to provide support and stability to the affected joint. • Functional training will help you relearn movements you thought you’d lost. We can also help improve gait or balance and help you perform day-to-day activities like going up or down stairs more easily. If you’re still struggling with pain and mobility after an orthopedic surgery, call us to schedule an appointment. We’ll work together to find a plan that suits your needs and goals!
