Physical Therapy Partners to Get You Back to You

Physical therapy is a critical aspect of a patient’s overall injury recovery, and a key factor that can enable patients to return to the activities they love. At Hoag Orthopedic Institute, not only will patients receive nationally recognized care from our expert orthopedic and spine surgeons and dedicated nursing team, but you will receive inpatient physical therapy from a specially-trained team of physical therapists who are committed to helping you get back to you and doing what you love safely and efficiently.

An Integral Part of the Orthopedic Care Team

Before surgery, your surgeon will provide you with information about our Pre-Op Orientation Classes and online resources to help you better prepare for surgery. These resources include important exercises specifically designed by the Hoag Orthopedic Institute Physical Therapy Team to help you prepare for your orthopedic and spine surgery and know what to expect during your recovery.

Immediately after surgery, our team of physical therapists will work closely with patients in the hospital setting to guide them step by step through their individualized physical therapy plan to maximize their recoveries. With a focus on functional activities such as bed mobility, walking, and climbing stairs, as well as exercise, our physical therapists will ensure you feel safe and comfortable in your recovery process. Our goal is to facilitate a safe return home as you work on “getting back to you” and achieving your personal goals.
