    Frequently Asked Questions

    When should I start physical therapy after surgery?

    It depends on your specific surgery and your surgeon's protocol. Some patients start PT within days of their operation, while others may need to wait a few weeks. We always coordinate with your surgical team to ensure the timing is perfect for your recovery.

    Will post-op physical therapy hurt?

    It is normal to experience some discomfort as you regain mobility and strength after surgery. However, our goal is to manage your pain effectively, not increase it. We use gentle, evidence-based techniques to ensure your rehabilitation is as comfortable and safe as possible.

    Do I need a referral to start post-op PT?

    While many post-op patients come to us with a referral or protocol from their surgeon, Oregon is a direct access state. This means you can often start physical therapy without a referral, depending on your insurance provider.
