Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Personalized, one-on-one physical therapy to help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence after surgery.
Our evidence-based treatment sessions are designed to support your recovery and return you to daily activities, work, recreation, and competitive sports.
Your Recovery Has a Plan
Surgeons routinely refer post-surgical patients to San Tan Physical Therapy to help them recover strength, function, and mobility. The rehabilitative process depends on your injury and type of surgery, so your care is tailored to your individual recovery needs and goals.
Our therapists provide one-on-one treatment to help facilitate a safe return to the things that matter most—from activities of daily living to work, recreational activities, and sports.

How Physical Therapy Supports Healing
Our goal is to help you regain movement while reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Your plan may include one or more treatments selected for your stage of recovery and surgical precautions.
Restore Motion
Manual therapy, soft-tissue and joint mobilization, and muscle energy techniques can help address stiffness and support movement.
Build Strength & Control
Therapeutic exercise, functional strength training, and rehabilitative exercise help improve strength, endurance, motion, balance, and coordination.
Return to Function
Gait and balance training, functional re-education, and electrical muscle and nerve stimulation may be used to support your return to everyday movement.
