I came across this PT center after doing some research online. I was looking for post-operative care after a very complex surgery. My rehab is a lengthy one and I have been visiting this center for 6 months now. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled. I was under the treatment of Dr. Vidhi and Dr. Mani and they are highly dedicated towards the patient’s recovery.

They helped me bounce back after my surgery. The doctor was very patient and helped me through my recovery, gently helping me push past the pain and regain my movements. The staff is friendly, caring, and motivating. Definitely a great place for physical therapy.

Are you scheduled for an upcoming surgery and concerned about bouncing back from it well—or even hope that you’ll end up feeling stronger than before?
Our highly skilled and experienced team of physical therapy clinicians can guide you through the entire pre-surgical and post-surgical process so that you can maximize your outcomes and make the most out of any type of invasive procedure.
Common Reasons for Surgery and Things to Consider in the Post-Surgical Phase
When conservative treatment options for an injury or health condition fails to provide effective relief, many patients elect to undergo surgery for rotator cuff tears and other types of injury, including:
- Full or partial knee replacements
- Total hip replacements
- ACL, MCL, and/or meniscus repairs
- Heart surgery (e.g., ablations, stent placements, cardiac pacemakers, etc.)
The impact of these surgeries should not be understated. Most surgeries incur at least some degree of pain, inflammation, mobility limitations, and swelling. To complicate matters, you likely were already experiencing pain and dysfunction prior to your operation!
Plus, you’ll likely have to learn how to do certain things all over again (even things as simple as walking and dressing), either to accommodate healing tissues and/or to avoid recurring dysfunction. Your physical therapist at Therapy Fit Physical Therapy in Frisco, TX can teach you how to perform tasks safely while following critical post-operative guidelines (e.g. hip precautions, sternal precautions, spine precautions, non-weight bearing, etc.) which are often outlined by your surgeon.
How Physical Therapy Helps in Post-Surgical Rehab
No matter what your particular surgery may be, you can rely upon a physical therapist to get you moving again. Our physical therapy team is here to help you make sense of confusing medical terms and learn the right progressions of exercises and activities to maximize post-surgical recovery!
Instead of masking pain, physical therapy helps you resolve your pain and other impairments. We do this through techniques such as joint mobilizations, home exercise programs, and non-invasive modalities including therapeutic ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and cold laser therapy.
Depending on your post-operative environment, a physical therapist can also help you problem solve how to safely get in and out of a car, up and downstairs, in and out of bed, and so on while protecting your healing surgical site and keeping you safe. We can give you adaptive tools to compensate for reduced movement while at the same time working with your body to restore the normal range of movement as quickly as possible.
Lastly, our physical therapists can also educate you about lifestyle and nutritional techniques to optimize your healing and health in the long term. That way, you’ll be far more likely to avoid re-injury, recurrent surgeries, and prolonged downtime.
