Frequently Asked Questions About the Post Surgery Program at Fix It PT in Maple Grove and Vadnais Heights.
-
Most patients begin post-surgical care within a few days to two weeks following surgery, depending on your surgeon's specific discharge protocols and the type of procedure. Early intervention helps control inflammation, maintain joint mobility, and prevent scar tissue buildup. Always follow your surgeon's timeline, and bring your surgical protocols to your first assessment.
-
While direct access laws allow many patients to begin physical therapy without a referral, most surgeons provide specific post-operative protocols that guide your care. Having a referral or surgical prescription ensures your recovery plan is fully coordinated with your surgical team and simplifies health insurance coverage.
-
Your initial appointment focuses on a gentle assessment rather than intense exertion. Your physical therapist will review your medical history and surgeon instructions, inspect your surgical site/incision, evaluate safe mobility and range of motion, and establish a personalized, phase-based recovery roadmap tailored to your goals and pain tolerance.
-
Frequency typically with 2 sessions for the first week transitioning to home exercises as you gain independence. Total program duration is usually 6 visits over about 8 weeks.
-
Your comfort and safety are top priorities. While mild discomfort or muscle soreness is normal as you restore movement, therapy should never cause pain. Our therapists use gentle manual techniques and targeted exercise to manage discomfort and protect healing tissues at every stage.
