Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

HELIX Performance Physical Therapy – Elevating Your Post-Surgical Recovery in Danville, CA

Injuries are inevitable and some of them require surgical intervention for treatment, which presents its own challenges. Navigating the uncertainties that follow surgery requires a dedicated approach to rehabilitation, and at HELIX Performance Physical Therapy we specialize in empowering your post-surgical recovery journey.

Contact us at (925) 222-5101 to partner with our expert physical therapists for a comprehensive and personalized post-surgical recovery plan tailored to your active lifestyle.

We understand the unique needs of athletes and active adults to get back to their sport or activities. Whether you’ve undergone orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, or any other sports-related procedure, our focus is on comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation tailored to your specific needs.

Post-surgical rehab begins immediately after surgery, typically anywhere from one day to two weeks, depending on the surgeon. The sooner the better, so we may start your recovery journey as soon as possible. This is particularly crucial for procedures like total joint replacement to prevent scar tissue buildup. Your personalized plan includes periodic evaluations to track progress, incorporating both in-office sessions and home-based exercises, stretching, and pain-relieving techniques to accelerate your recovery.

While the desire to return to normal life post-surgery is natural, post-surgical rehabilitation is the essential bridge to that goal. Surgery impacts various aspects of your body, from skin to bones, and ignoring the affected area can lead to painful scar tissue formation, limiting strength and mobility. Starting physical therapy soon after surgery is proven to be less painful and more effective. Post-surgical rehab facilitates incision healing, increases blood flow, reduces post-surgical pain, strengthens surrounding muscles, and prevents further injury.

The duration varies based on the type and extent of surgery, your tolerance for therapy, and, significantly, your commitment. Your active involvement in physical therapy, combined with compliance with your therapist’s guidance, influences the rehabilitation duration. As you progress, therapy frequency may decrease, emphasizing the importance of your commitment in determining the pace of your recovery.

If surgery is in your future, connect with us to discuss your rehabilitation process. Contact HELIX Performance Physical Therapy at (925) 222-5101 in Danville, California, and let our experienced team guide you through a tailored post-surgical rehab program. Discover the path to a robust recovery and a return to your sport or active lifestyle. Your trusted partner in Danville for post-surgical rehabilitation, dedicated to ensuring you regain and surpass your pre-surgery athletic prowess.

Can’t say enough about Wes

I hurt my leg training for a marathon and after working with him a few months, my leg feels GREAT! I just got home from a trip to Europe that I was a little worried about. I felt 100% the 2nd or 3rd day in Paris - maybe it was the 12-13 miles we were walking every day, maybe it was the French bread/wine, maybe it was both. Since i've been back, i've been riding my (indoor) bike too, just trying to get my leg stronger (still going to the gym, still doing my exercises). 

THANK YOU for all of your efforts, your knowledge, your patience. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.  And it is 100000% appreciated.

Skilled and very engaging

I found Wes while he was at Diablo PT via Yelp when I needed help with severe sciatic pain. I was able to schedule sessions with Wes and was amazed at his knowledge, skill and very engaging personality.

At no time did I ever feel that I was getting a "cookie cutter" problem. He listens very well and works with you as an individual to provide exactly what you need.

I can't say enough good things about Wes and how much he helped me fully recover and get even better than I was before my injury.

I feel better each time I leave

Wes Anderson is one of the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is professional, bright, explains everything he is doing to strengthen my body, and I feel better each time I leave. He does not just give you a massage. He is breaking down tight muscles and gives me more flexibility and movement.

No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care

I highly recommend Wes in Danville. Before going to Wes I had gone to several other places. Wes is, hands down, the one of the best. I saw him at his old clinic in Danville Diablo Physical Therapy. No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care.

Super detail oriented, reviewed my surgery notes and stick with me through each rep to make sure I'm doing it right. Hands down the best PT experience l've ever had.

Makes the process a vastly easier therapy

Wes puts a lot of attention into the process, and keeps you involved with his great sense of humor. Though the exercises can be arduous, he makes the process a vastly easier therapy.
