Depending on your type of surgery, your doctor will most likely recommend physical therapy (PT) at some point in your recovery to assist in regaining your flexibility, strength, balance and to improve overall mobility function. Your doctor will inform you when to begin PT and will provide a prescription which is required to begin treatment.
If you don't already have a therapist in mind, you have the option of making your appointments at an HSS outpatient location in Manhattan, Westchester, Connecticut, or New Jersey.
You can also contact the HSS Rehabilitation Network, which comprises over 170 independently owned physical and occupational therapy practices throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida.
Please note: These guidelines are specific to surgical approaches and should be approved by your surgeon prior to use for your optimal safety.
