What Is Post-Surgical Intervention?

Physical therapy plays an essential role in the recovery process, whether it's for knee surgery, shoulder surgery, or another procedure.

How Does Post-Surgical Intervention Work?
Post-surgical intervention begins with a customized rehabilitation plan that often starts with gentle exercises and stretches to help restore range of motion. As healing progresses, the exercises become more challenging, focusing on building strength and flexibility. At UMG Physical Therapy, your physical therapist will guide you through each step of your recovery, adjusting the treatment as needed to match your progress. Whether recovering from knee surgery, shoulder surgery, or another procedure, this approach is designed to help you move toward recovery in a structured manner.
What to Expect After Post-Surgical Intervention
After finishing post-surgical therapy, most people notice better mobility, less pain, and more confidence doing everyday tasks. You may still need to keep up with certain exercises at home, especially if you're working toward long-term goals like returning to work, sports, or other physical activities. Some people continue with occasional check-ins or maintenance therapy, while others transition to exercising on their own. Our goal is to help you feel steady, strong, and ready to move forward without needing regular appointments.

UMG Physical Therapy Reviews
Kevin was amazing! Alway flexible with scheduling. The facility was clean and welcoming. I will be back, if needed. Thank you for all you did to get me back on my feet.
I arrived with sciatica pain 4 weeks ago, and Dr. Ung immediately knew a plan that would properly diagnose and treat. The exercise plan was gradual but very effective with the added dry needling and heating. My sciatica pain and lower back has felt the best it had all year, and now I can roll in to 2026 with a healthy start.
Knowledgeable and friendly! Thank you for helping me get back to 100%!
Going to Umg PT was a great experience! They were very understanding, answered all my questions, alleviated my pain and taught me stretches to help prevent future discomfort.
Okay, so, a long time ago in August 2025, I woke up with excruciating neck pain. I was unable to turn my head and sleeping it off didn’t fix the issue. I went to UMG Urgent Care (also an amazing experience) and Stephanie told me that I would benefit from physical therapy to work through the neck pain. She recommended the physical therapy they had on site, and the rest is history.I cannot emphasize this enough; if there is an even an inkling that you might need physical therapy, please go to UMG Physical Therapy. Jeffery and Kevin are both so kind, funny, knowledgeable, and really help you work through and understand what’s causing the pain and how their exercises will help resolve the issue. Also, did you know that flat-footedness is fixable? No? Just me? Well, I learned that while I was here!I originally went in for neck pain, and then went to them for knee strength training so I was there for a good, long while. And let me tell you, I am not an early bird whatsoever. But the environment and staff are so amazing that I was always happy and ready to go to my morning sessions that I attended *before* work— that’s how great they are. And the routines they teach you really make a difference; if my neck or legs start acting up, I do the stretches and I’m good to go!Kevin and Jeffery are both super easy to talk to and they really pay attention to the patients on both the medical side and the personal side. They’d ask followup questions about my weekend outings or physical discomfort I had been experiencing the week prior. Considering that I was doing new stretches in front of essentially strangers every week, they make you feel right at home as you do it.TL;DR: if you e v e r need to go to Physical Therapy, no question, you have to go here. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Am I A Candidate for Post-Surgical Intervention?
If you're recovering from surgery and having trouble moving, lifting, or doing the things you normally would, post-surgical therapy may be right for you. At UMG Physical Therapy, we regularly work with people who have had joint replacements, tendon repairs, back surgery, or other procedures that affect how their body moves. If your surgeon has cleared you for rehab, we can help you take the next steps in your recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after surgery should I start rehabbing?
That depends on the type of surgery you've had, but in many cases, therapy can begin just a few days after your procedure — once your surgeon says it's safe. Starting early can help prevent stiffness and support a smoother recovery.
How long will I need physical therapy?
Everyone heals at a different pace, so the length of therapy varies. Some people feel better in just a few weeks, while others need a few months to rebuild strength and mobility. We'll track your progress and adjust the plan as your body heals.
How often should I schedule physical therapy appointments?
Most people start with 2 – 3 sessions per week, especially in the early stages of recovery. As you improve, your visits may become less frequent. We'll help you figure out a schedule that matches your goals and healing timeline.
