Drysdale Physical Therapy

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Treatment in Fresno, CA

Surgery is only half of the recovery — the rehabilitation that follows determines how much strength, motion, and function you actually get back. We work with your surgeon's protocol to guide you through each phase of recovery, from protecting the repair in the early weeks to rebuilding the strength and confidence to return to full activity.

Conditions We Treat

What Treatment Looks Like

Post-surgical rehab follows a phased plan coordinated with your surgeon's protocol. Early sessions focus on managing swelling, protecting the surgical site, and restoring safe range of motion. As healing progresses, treatment shifts toward rebuilding strength, balance, and the specific movements your daily life or sport demands. Your therapist tracks measurable milestones at each phase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after surgery should I start physical therapy?

That depends on your procedure and your surgeon's protocol — some surgeries benefit from therapy within days, others need a longer protected period. We coordinate directly with your surgeon's plan.

Do you communicate with my surgeon?

Yes. We follow the referring surgeon's protocol and send progress updates, so your whole care team stays on the same page.

What should I bring to my first post-op visit?

Bring your surgical paperwork or protocol if you have it, your insurance card, and loose comfortable clothing that gives access to the surgical area.
