You’ve made it through surgery, now what? Maybe you're stiff, swollen, or it just seems that feeling like yourself is still a long way off. Trying to go it alone, hoping things will improve on their own, can leave you stuck in a frustrating cycle of slow progress and uncertainty.
Postoperative rehabilitation is the safest, fastest, and most effective way to move forward. With skilled, hands-on guidance, you don’t just recover, you recover well. At InHands Postoperative Therapy and Recovery in San Jose, our expert-led care helps you regain comfort, rebuild strength, and confidently return to the life you love, without unnecessary delays, prescription painkillers, or lingering complications.
Postoperative rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to support recovery following a surgical procedure. Whether your surgery addressed an injury, illness, or elective correction, rehabilitation is key to healing properly and preventing future complications. At InHands San Jose, our team of experienced physical therapists uses advanced therapeutic modalities like laser therapy, soft tissue work, and targeted exercise to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and rebuild strength in healing tissues.
We create a personalized treatment plan for each patient, considering the type of surgical procedure performed, physical limitations, and overall health. Our approach helps minimize the risk of blood clots, scar tissue adhesions, and recurring dysfunction while speeding up your return to a normal range of movement and long-term health.
