Drysdale Physical Therapy

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Treatment in Fresno, CA

Recovery after surgery is shaped by the procedure, healing, overall health, and how rehabilitation progresses. We follow your surgeon's available protocol closely and adjust treatment within it based on your response, goals, and precautions.

Conditions We Treat

What Treatment Looks Like

Early on, the plan may focus on protecting the repair, managing swelling, and restoring motion within your surgeon's precautions. As healing progresses, treatment may shift toward strength and the movements your life demands, whether that's climbing stairs or working toward the golf course. We track measurable milestones so progress can be discussed using more than symptoms alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after surgery should I start physical therapy?

Depends entirely on the procedure and your surgeon's protocol — some surgeries want therapy within days, others need a longer protected window first. We follow whatever your surgeon has laid out.

Do you communicate with my surgeon?

We follow the surgeon's available protocol and coordinate with the referring office when clinically necessary and authorized. Call us to confirm the communication and documentation process for your case.

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

Your surgical paperwork or protocol if you have it, your insurance card, and clothing loose enough to give us access to the surgical area — shorts for a knee or hip, a loose top for a shoulder.
