We Can Help You

With Pre-Surgical and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Surgeons routinely refer post-surgical patients to our physical therapists to help them recover strength, function and mobility.
Our therapists provide one-on-one, evidence-based physical therapy treatment sessions to help facilitate your recovery and return to activities of daily living (ADLs), work, recreational activities and even competitive sports.

The rehabilitative process depends on the injury and type of surgery. We help patients recover and rehabilitate from a variety of orthopedic post-operative procedures, including:

  • Ligament and tendon repair, including Achilles tendon repairs
  • Arthroscopic hip surgeries (such as labral repairs)
  • Nerve releases (such as cubital tunnel, radial tunnel, carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel)

After being diagnosed at the Center for Sports Medicine with degeneration of intervertebral disc (L3,L4,L5,S1), I began my therapy at Southern Rehab with Raquel Koch. She began by explaining my problem and how we were going to target certain muscles. I thought it would take a long time to correct my problem. However, I was wrong. Raquel explained thoroughly the importance of each exercise for a certain muscle. After 4 visits and doing my homework exercises, I could feel the difference in my lower back. Raquel asked me after each exercise how the muscle or back felt, not wanting me to overdo, but wanting me feel the muscle working/strengthening. Raquel is a kind, soft-spoken, knowledgeable encourager. I can’t think of enough positive words to describe her. Southern Rehab is THE PLACE to go when you hurt!

Southern Rehab is THE place to go for PT. I have gone there for years after every injury or operation requiring PT and will not go anywhere else. They are very professional and knowledgeable but caring. Over the years they have also become friends, they care about you as a person. My latest therapist Raquel has been awesome. She has knowledge and experience in nerve damage related issues and has brought on improvements in my balance and strength. She is insightful to how my body is reacting to treatments and to how much work I need in certain areas. The entire crew at southern is great, I would not go anywhere else. Hopefully you won't have to go as much as I have but they are the place to go.
