Personalized prehabilitation and post-operative therapy in Seymour, IN to help you prepare, heal, and return to the life you love.
Whether you are preparing for knee, hip, shoulder, or spine surgery, Progressive Physical Therapy provides the strength, mobility, education, and guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
Upcoming surgery can feel daunting. Progressive Physical Therapy’s orthopedic therapists create customized strength, flexibility, and education programs before and after surgery, addressing weaknesses and restrictions proactively so you can make steady progress at every stage.
Our plans are tailored to your procedure, baseline function, surgeon guidelines, and personal goals. We help you avoid the common pitfalls of doing too much too soon—or becoming overly cautious and losing valuable mobility.
Your care evolves as your body heals—from preparation through a confident return to daily life, work, recreation, or sport.
In the weeks or months before surgery, we assess muscle function, joint mobility, neurological status, walking mechanics, balance, and coordination.
Prehabilitation may include joint mobilization, targeted strengthening, gait training, and education for you and your caregivers. Building endurance around the surgical area can help your body better tolerate procedure stresses and prepare you for later therapy.
Early care focuses on pain, swelling, and inflammation management; gentle mobility and muscle activation; and safety with movement and weight bearing as directed by your surgeon.
We may provide edema management with electrical stimulation, compression, and manual techniques; fit and train you with walkers or crutches; and introduce safe home exercises that keep you actively involved in recovery.
As healing progresses, we work toward full range of motion, strength, motor control, endurance, and independence with everyday movement.
Advanced therapeutic exercise, scar tissue mobilization, balance work, and controlled work- or sport-specific drills help you transition from basic mobility to the activities that matter most to you.
Recovering well after orthopedic surgery depends on following the proper protocol and addressing dysfunction early. Our individualized programs are designed to support:
From your initial evaluation through an independent home exercise program, our team is here to provide one-on-one support and clear guidance.
Prehab focuses on improving aerobic conditioning, muscle flexibility and endurance, and movement patterns around the area scheduled for surgery. Manual therapy and other modalities may also help address restrictions or pain that could hinder rehabilitation.
For smaller procedures, pre-op therapy may begin four to eight weeks before surgery. Major joint replacements may benefit from eight to twelve weeks of preparation. Your plan will be based on your procedure, timeline, and current abilities.
Post-operative care progresses according to your surgeon’s directives and healing timeline. We help restore mobility, manage scar tissue, rebuild strength, and work toward self-care, community mobility, work duties, recreation, or athletics.
Sessions typically include an assessment, individualized exercises and activities, education on safe body mechanics and recovery, and hands-on techniques when appropriate. Sessions generally last 30–60 minutes, depending on your condition and treatment plan.
