Scar Mobilization

Those who are just too stubborn to step foot in a physical therapist’s office immediately after surgery will find that over time they lose their flexibility, range of motion and strength in the surgically repaired part of their body. They will likely find scar tissue build-up is preventing them from fully recovering. In order to begin working on that part of the body, the physical therapist at Therapy Fit Physical Therapy in Frisco, Prosper and West Frisco, TX must first work on breaking up the scar tissue to allow the joint or limb to begin moving the way it should. This process is not only grueling, but it is also often as painful as having the surgery itself. Fortunately, those who seek physical therapy as soon as they are permitted by their surgeon tend to experience less scar tissue and minimal pain as a result.

Physical therapy is a vital part of recovery after surgery. Not only can it help you heal faster, improve your flexibility and range of motion and minimize scar tissue development, but it can also help you manage pain levels without excessive use of prescription narcotics.
