• Regained mobility- The right postoperative rehabilitation program can help you quickly regain mobility and increase function in your muscles, joints, and tissues following surgery.

What does a postoperative treatment program consist of? There are many modalities that are available for use to aid in the rehabilitation process, a big part of treatment is exercise.
