Surgery is just the beginning of the recovery process. Expert post-surgical rehabilitation is what determines how well you ultimately heal, how fully you regain function, and how quickly you return to the life you love. At Tabares Physical Therapy, we specialize in guiding patients through the full recovery journey — safely, efficiently, and one-on-one.
We provide comprehensive rehabilitation following the most common and high-outcome orthopedic procedures. These include: Total Knee Replacement (TKR), Total Hip Replacement (THR), Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, Meniscus repair or meniscectomy, Total Shoulder Replacement, and Rotator Cuff Repair.
Surgery addresses the structural problem — PT addresses how your body moves and functions afterward. Without proper rehabilitation, patients often experience prolonged weakness, stiffness, compensatory movement patterns, and reduced long-term outcomes. Research consistently shows that patients who engage in structured PT recover faster, regain more function, and have higher satisfaction with their surgical outcomes.
We coordinate closely with your surgeon's protocol and timelines while individualizing every session to your current stage of healing, pain levels, and personal goals. Our sessions are one-on-one at your home — eliminating the burden of transportation during a period when mobility is already challenging. We use manual therapy to restore joint mobility, progressive therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength, and neuromuscular training to re-establish movement confidence and coordination.
Post-surgical rehab is organized into distinct phases. The early phase (weeks 1–6) focuses on reducing swelling, protecting healing tissue, and restoring basic range of motion. The intermediate phase (weeks 6–12) introduces progressive strengthening and functional movement. The advanced phase (weeks 12+) focuses on return-to-activity goals — whether that means walking independently, returning to sport, or resuming an active lifestyle without limitations.
The period immediately after surgery is precisely when you need the most support and the least barriers to care. Having your therapist come directly to you means no struggling into a car, no waiting rooms, and no fatigue from travel. You receive focused, uninterrupted one-on-one treatment in the comfort of your own environment — which is not only more convenient but often leads to better outcomes.
