POST-SURGICAL PHYSICAL THERAPY IN CHAMBLEE

Surgery repairs the injury. Physical therapy brings back the motion, strength and confidence to use it. At ADAPT, a Doctor of Physical Therapy follows your surgeon's protocol from your first weeks home until you're back to work, sport and daily life.

  • ACL reconstruction

  • Meniscus repair and knee arthroscopy

  • Rotator cuff and shoulder labrum repair

  • Achilles tendon repair

  • Spinal fusion and other spine surgery

  • Fracture repair

WHAT RECOVERY LOOKS LIKE

  1. Protect and calm. Control swelling and pain, start gentle motion within your protocol, and get you walking or moving safely.

  2. Restore motion. Bring back range of motion and basic strength, with hands-on care where it helps.

  3. Build strength. Progressive strength training. Blood flow restriction helps limit muscle loss while heavy loads are still off-limits.

  4. Return to activity. Training for your work, sport or daily life, with testing before you take the next step.

Timing depends on your surgery and your surgeon's protocol. We adjust each phase to how you're actually progressing.

WHY REHAB AFTER SURGERY AT ADAPT

  • We work from your surgeon's protocol at every phase.

  • Blood flow restriction to protect muscle early in recovery.

  • A full training facility to finish the job, so you leave stronger, not just healed.

  • Early and evening hours, 7 AM to 8 PM on weekdays, so rehab fits around work.

POST-SURGICAL REHAB FAQ

WHEN SHOULD I START PHYSICAL THERAPY AFTER SURGERY?

Often within the first week or two, but follow your surgeon's instructions. If surgery is still ahead, ask us about prehab beforehand.

DO I NEED A REFERRAL FROM MY SURGEON?

Usually your surgeon sends a referral and a rehab protocol. Bring them to your first visit, or ask their office to send them to us.

HOW LONG WILL I NEED PHYSICAL THERAPY?

It depends on the surgery. A knee scope may take a few weeks; an ACL or rotator cuff repair usually takes several months.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY FIRST VISIT?

Your surgeon's protocol or referral, your insurance card, a list of medications, and clothes that let us see and move the surgical area.

WILL INSURANCE COVER IT?

Physical therapy after surgery is usually covered. We'll check your benefits before your first visit. See billing and pricing.
