With Pre-Surgical and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgeons routinely refer post-surgical patients to our physical therapists to help them recover strength, function and mobility.
Our therapists provide one-on-one, evidence-based physical therapy treatment sessions to help facilitate your recovery and return to activities of daily living (ADLs), work, recreational activities and even competitive sports.
The rehabilitative process depends on the injury and type of surgery. We help patients recover and rehabilitate from a variety of orthopedic post-operative procedures, including:
- Knee, hip and shoulder joint replacements
- Reconstruction of any one or more of the four major knee ligaments: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
- Arthroscopic knee surgeries (such as meniscectomies, meniscal repairs)
- Ligament and tendon repair, including Achilles tendon repairs
- Arthroscopic hip surgeries (such as labral repairs)
- Nerve releases (such as cubital tunnel, radial tunnel, carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel)
- Neck and back surgery (such as fusions, laminectomy, decompression and discectomy)
- Nerve compression release
- Bone or joint fusion (arthrodesis)
- Tendon transfers
- Surgical fixation of fractures, including open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), a two-part surgery used to fix broken bones where the broken bone is reduced (put back into place) and an internal fixation device is placed on the bone (e.g., screws, plates, rods or pins) to hold the bone together
- Shoulder post-surgical recovery for rotator cuff tears, labral tears, superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) tear or lesion, arthroscopy and more

What Our Clients Say
I am able to use my hand without worry.
My experience at Professional Physical Therapy has been amazing. Everyone has been very helpful, professional, and friendly. When I first arrived, I had a hard time using my left hand to do daily tasks. Through the staff’s hard work I am able to use my left hand without worry after only a couple of weeks.
Extremely pleasant experience at Professional Physical Therapy! Warm, caring, non-judgemental, and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere in the “gym” area, sharing friendly quips with other patients and with the therapists while we are exercising or having hands-on therapy. I have been going twice a week for about 6 months to work on two separate issues…..lower back/hip pain and weakness, and very stiff neck/shoulders. The exercises that I was given to do at home, combined with the body work that was done at PPT, worked amazingly well to strengthen and stretch muscles/joints that were in sub-par condition. My discomfort level decreased dramatically after faithfully following the prescribed exercises. Well worth checking out Professional Physical Therapy in Franklin, MA.!
