The impact of these surgeries on your body should not be understated. Most surgeries involve at least some degree of pain, inflammation, mobility limitations, and swelling. To complicate matters, you likely were already experiencing pain and dysfunction prior to your operation!
To accommodate healing tissues and/or to avoid recurring dysfunction, it is likely that you will have to learn how to do certain things all over again, like walking, sleeping comfortably, and even getting dressed. Our Thornton, CO sports physical therapists can teach you how to perform tasks safely while following critical post-operative guidelines. These guidelines are often outlined by your surgeon and could include hip precautions, spine precautions, non-weight bearing, etc.
