Arthroscopic Procedure Rehabilitation
Physical Therapy After Arthroscopic Surgery at SoundSide Physical Therapy
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used to diagnose and treat joint conditions affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and other areas. While arthroscopy often results in shorter recovery times than traditional surgery, rehabilitation remains critical for restoring strength, mobility, and function. At SoundSide Physical Therapy, we provide comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient's procedure and recovery goals.
What Is Arthroscopic Surgery?
Arthroscopy uses a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions to repair damaged structures within a joint.
Common arthroscopic procedures include:
-
- Meniscus repair
-
- Rotator cuff repair
-
- Labral repair
-
- Cartilage treatment
-
- Joint debridement
-
- Ligament reconstruction
Physical therapy helps address these issues while promoting proper healing.
