What are the benefits of post-surgical rehabilitation?

Physical therapy addresses the underlying cause of the problem, whereas pain medications only mask the sensation of pain. A physical therapist will help you heal by using specific treatments, therapies, and techniques.

You may experience physical limitations after surgery, but our physical therapist will show you how to work around them. In many cases, this is possible thanks to the use of assistive technology.

Your rehabilitation plan will include instructions for any lifestyle and/or dietary changes you can make to improve your long-term health, prevent future damage, and avoid additional surgery.

Our Knoxville, TN physical therapists will design a personalized recovery plan for you in order to help you heal and return to your normal daily life.

I had a LKTR and came to Forward Physical Therapy. Some of the nicest physical therapists you will ever meet but don’t be fooled, they are Professional and Tough. I was discharged today at 13 weeks post-op thanks mainly to their work.

Forward Physical Therapy is outstanding. The entire staff is knowledgeable, caring and passionate about getting their patients better. They helped my son through a long recovery from back surgery and they helped me through rehab after wrist surgery. I hope I do not need them again….but I will certainly go to Forward PT in the future if necessary.

Why you should avoid opioids

The opioid epidemic continues to grip America, affecting people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. As a result, the CDC advises people to use physical therapy rather than prescription pain relievers whenever possible.

According to their website, an estimated 115 people die each day as a result of an opioid overdose, and up to 29 percent of people who are prescribed opioids will end up misusing these dangerous drugs.

Excellent postoperative outcomes involve both preoperative planning and postoperative healing. The possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for prescription pain medications such as opioids is one of the most compelling reasons to choose post-surgical physical therapy.

Physical therapy can help you recover from the following conditions:
