Post-Surgical Recovery: Gentle, Whole-Body Physical Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

Whether you’re recovering from joint replacement, arthroscopy, spine surgery, or a soft-tissue repair, you deserve a plan that honors what your body has been through. In my one-on-one sessions, I move at the right pace for you—prioritizing safety, comfort, and steady progress so you can return to the activities that matter most.

My Approach: One-on-One, Whole-Body, Hands-On

Every recovery is unique. I blend gentle, osteopathic manual therapy with a whole-body assessment—looking at posture, breathing, gait, and how nearby regions may be compensating. I work with your healing timeline, not against it.

What to Expect

  1. Careful evaluation. I review your surgery details, precautions from your surgeon, and your goals. Then I check mobility, swelling, alignment, and movement patterns.
  2. Hands-on treatment. Gentle techniques to calm protective tension, improve tissue glide, and support circulation—always within your comfort.
  3. Right-sized exercise. Breath-guided mobility, light activation, and progressive strengthening to restore confidence and function—without flares.
  4. Home plan and pacing. Clear, simple steps you can repeat at home, plus guidance on activity levels and flare management.

Milestones I Target (Customized to You)

  • Managing swelling and pain without overprotecting the area
  • Restoring safe range of motion and gentle tissue mobility
  • Rebuilding strength, balance, and endurance
  • Returning to meaningful activities with confidence

Common Questions

Can you coordinate with my surgeon? Yes. I’m happy to communicate with your surgical team to align precautions and goals.
