The Importance of Pre-Surgical Physical Therapy
Research supports the benefits of pre-hab in improving surgical outcomes. A study found that patients who participated in pre-hab experienced a 29% reduction in postoperative care costs and a 25% reduction in the need for skilled nursing facility care compared to those who did not.
Orthopedic conditions that commonly benefit from pre-hab include:
- Rotator Cuff Tears: Strengthening the shoulder and surrounding muscles before surgery can improve post-surgical recovery and facilitate a smoother rehabilitation process.
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries: Pre-hab optimizes knee stability, strength, and range of motion, setting the foundation for a successful surgery and recovery.
- Total Hip and Knee Replacements: Pre-habilitation is crucial for improving muscle strength, flexibility, and balance, leading to a quicker return to daily activities post-surgery.
At Amplify Physical Therapy And Wellness, our skilled therapists utilize holistic-based approaches to address these orthopedic conditions before surgery. By emphasizing muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and range of motion, we prepare your body for the surgical procedure and pave the way for a more efficient post-surgical recovery.

Improving Surgical Outcomes through Holistic Physical Therapy in Bolingbrook, IL
Physical therapy plays a crucial role in preparing your body and mind for surgery. By incorporating a personalized pre-surgical physical therapy plan from Amplify Physical Therapy And Wellness, you can experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and a faster post-surgical recovery.
- Total Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that can lead to significant pain and stiffness, often necessitating joint replacement surgery. A physical therapist will work with you to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
- Spinal Conditions: Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis can result in chronic pain and impaired mobility, sometimes requiring surgical intervention. Physical therapists devise customized exercise programs to address muscle imbalances, improve core strength, and increase flexibility.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Rotator cuff injuries can severely limit shoulder function, often necessitating surgical repair. Physical therapists work to reduce pain, restore range of motion, and strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint.
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries: ACL injuries can significantly impact the knee’s stability, requiring surgical reconstruction in severe cases. Pre-surgical physical therapy reduces inflammation, improves flexibility, and enhances muscle strength.

Preparing for Surgery with Holistic Physical Therapy
Our comprehensive evaluation process begins with a thorough review of your medical history. This allows our therapists to gain valuable insights into your specific condition and any underlying factors that may impact your treatment.
Next, we perform a hands-on assessment to identify areas of concern, such as muscle imbalances or joint restrictions. We also conduct a range of motion and strength test to establish a baseline and monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Swelling control is a crucial aspect of pre-surgery preparation. Our physical therapists employ various methods to manage swelling, such as manual lymphatic drainage, compression garments, and gentle exercises. These techniques help reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and accelerate healing, creating a nurturing environment for your body to thrive.
Specialized functional testing further enables us to tailor your treatment plan. We make sure it aligns with your personal goals and enhances your overall well-being.
The most common pre-surgery treatments offered at Amplify Physical Therapy And Wellness include:
Therapeutic exercises
Customized exercises aimed at improving strength and increasing and maintaining joint health to reduce the risk of post-surgery complications and enable the body to recover more quickly.
Manual therapy
Our therapists use Manual therapy hands to manipulate soft tissues and joints, improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing overall function. Techniques such as massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy relieve muscle tension and increase circulation.
Balance and coordination training
Activities designed to improve balance, stability, and coordination, preparing patients for a safe return to daily activities post-surgery.
Pain management
Modalities such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound, and cold laser therapy to address pain and inflammation.
