Get back to your life — and your sport — with evidence-based rehab that respects your surgery while pushing you to recover fully.
Get back to your life — and your sport — with evidence-based rehab that respects your surgery while pushing you to recover fully.
Surgery is just the first step. The real work — and the real recovery — happens in physical therapy. We're here to make sure you come back stronger.
Surgery fixes the structure. We fix everything else — strength, mobility, movement patterns, and confidence. You leave our care ready to actually do the things you love again.
Post-surgical rehab requires precision. You get your Doctor of PT for the entire session — not a tech running you through a generic protocol.
Our goal isn't just to pass your post-op clearance. It's to get you back to lifting, running, and competing — and showing you how to stay there.
Hands-on manual therapy to restore tissue mobility, combined with progressive movement work to rebuild strength and confidence.
Focus on protecting the surgical repair, managing pain/swelling, and restoring early range of motion. We work within your surgeon's restrictions.
Progressive strengthening, balance training, and beginning to restore full range of motion. Building the foundation for return to function.
Advanced strengthening, power development, and sport-specific training. Preparing your body for the demands of your activities.
Final progression to full sport participation. We test your readiness and give you the confidence to get back in the game.

Post-surgical rehab often includes these treatments:
"I wish I had come across Dr. Elaine and Dr. Dan earlier in my recovery from an extensive hamstring avulsion fracture. I'm extremely grateful for PT Liftology's pragmatic approach to healing, which emphasizes proper mechanics. Highly recommend them to anyone seeking clarity on their own recovery journey!"

"Elaine is the best! She's helped me get through multiple injuries over the years and has helped me make it to the weightlifting competition platform all healthy and injury-free on multiple occasions!"

It depends on your surgery. Some patients start the day after surgery; others wait 1-2 weeks. We'll contact your surgeon to get clearance and begin as soon as it's safe.
It varies by surgery. Simple procedures may take 2-3 months. Major surgeries like ACL reconstruction or joint replacement typically take 6-12 months for full recovery.
Some discomfort is normal, especially in the early phases. We manage this carefully and will never push you beyond what's tolerable. Most patients find the process progressively easier.
We prefer to coordinate with your surgeon and get their specific protocol. We'll handle all the communication — you just need to show up ready to work.
Cash-pay only. No insurance hassles, no arbitrary visit limits. You get a Doctor of PT for the full hour, every time.
HSA/FSA accepted. Superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement.
