How It's Treated:

Post-surgical patients can start pelvic floor therapy as soon as their surgeon has cleared them to do so. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will do an examination to determine your healing progress, severity of scar tissue, and project healing timelines. Treatment will include scar tissue work utilizing a variety of tools such as cupping therapy, scar tissue massage, dry needling, and more. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will retrain the muscles around the area of surgery to provide stability to this area to reduce the risk of re-injury and promote long-term results for optimal post-surgical outcomes before returning you back to all the activities you love!

FAQs

How soon after surgery can I start therapy?

How soon after surgery can I start therapy?

This depends on your type of surgery and your surgeon’s post-surgical precautions. During your pre-surgery consultations, ask your surgeon what your precautions will be post-op and when you can start physical therapy. Generally, we will begin to see patients at 4-6 weeks post-op, but it may be sooner if you are losing a significant amount of muscle, which may delay your progress.

Will doing therapy be harmful after my surgery?

Will doing therapy be harmful after my surgery?

Physical therapy is not harmful after surgery. In fact, physical therapy actually prevents you from re-injurying yourself and improves post-operative outcomes. Physical therapy is a conservative and gentle intervention; your Doctor of Physical Therapy has specialized training in tissue healing and post-op rehabilitation and will help guide you in regaining mobility and strength for lasting results after your surgery.

Testimonials

This place is great. Clean, professional, organized. After an umbilical hernia repair I was having all sorts of issues and random pains that Pelvic Prescription helped me overcome. I honestly think physical therapy should be a required recovery practice from any surgical procedure at this point; can’t speak highly enough about Nicole and the team here.
