Common Post-Surgical Cases We Treat

ACL/Meniscus Reconstruction

ACL reconstruction is one of the most common surgeries we treat and one of the most mismanaged in traditional clinic settings. Our ACL rehab program uses time and criteria-based progressions, strength symmetry testing, and sport-specific movement preparation before any return-to-play decision is made.

MPFL Reconstruction

Our sports physical therapy specialists provide expert rehabilitation following Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. Utilizing evidence-based treatment techniques, we create individualized recovery programs that restore knee mobility, rebuild strength, improve dynamic stability, and retrain movement mechanics. Through progressive rehabilitation and sport-specific training, we help patients safely return to athletics and daily activities while minimizing the risk of reinjury and optimizing long-term knee function.

Shoulder Labrum Repair

Post-operative shoulder labrum rehab focuses on restoring joint stability, rotator cuff strength, and functional range of motion before sport-specific loading is introduced. For throwing athletes, our arm care protocols are integrated directly into the later stages of recovery.

UCL Reconstruction/Internal Brace Procedure

Overhead athletes recovering from UCL reconstruction need a rehab program that understands the demands of throwing, hitting, and overhead sport. Our arm care background means your return-to-throwing progression is structured, monitored, and built on objective strength and mobility benchmarks.

OCD Lesion Surgery

OCD lesion recovery is highly procedure-dependent. We work closely with your surgeon's protocol while building strength and mobility in the surrounding structures to support long-term joint health and athletic performance.

Growth Plate ORIF

Our sports physical therapy team combines advanced clinical expertise with evidence-based rehabilitation to guide young athletes through recovery after growth plate ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) surgery. Using specialized assessment, progressive strengthening, mobility restoration, and sport-specific training, we develop individualized treatment plans that promote safe healing, restore function, and help patients confidently return to the activities they love while protecting their long-term growth and performance.

Achilles Repair

Achilles recovery requires a precise progression from protected weight bearing to full athletic loading. We build each plan around your surgical approach and sport demands, with tendon loading protocols designed to restore strength, stiffness, and explosive capacity before return-to-sport testing is completed.

Rotator Cuff Repair

Rotator cuff recovery timelines vary significantly based on tear size and repair technique. We build your program around your specific surgical report, progressing shoulder strength and stability in a controlled, criteria-driven sequence designed to get overhead athletes back to full sport demands.

Hip Labrum Repair

Post-operative hip labrum rehab requires careful management of hip loading through early stages before progressive strengthening and movement retraining can begin. We build plans specific to your surgical findings and the physical demands of your sport.
