How physical therapy can help
To ensure the best results following shoulder replacement surgery, it would be in your best interest to participate in both “pre-hab” physical therapy (therapy before surgery) and post-op physical therapy.
The more you prepare before your procedure, the better your recovery. Our therapists can provide you with exercises to ensure you go into surgery with the healthiest shoulder possible.
Your physical therapist will create a customized program for you. This may include strengthening of the shoulder, neck, and back muscles. Mobility exercises and posture training may also be part of your pre-surgery program. We will also educate you about what to expect after surgery to prepare you for the procedure.
Preparing before surgery will help keep your shoulder functioning the best you can, so the procedure and the recovery are much smoother.
