What does post-operative care consist of?

Holsman Physical Therapy provides the following post-surgery care options:

Physical therapy

Physical therapy exercises boost flexibility and strength after surgery to stimulate natural healing. Holsman Physical Therapy offers orthopedic physical therapy after sports injuries and back, neck, or joint surgery.

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy helps improve fine motor function after hand, finger, wrist, or other surgeries.

Dry needling

During dry needling, your specialist inserts tiny needles into painful or damaged tissues next to trigger points (tight tissue fibers) to speed up healing and reduce pain after surgery.

Massage therapy 

Massage therapy uses manual manipulation to minimize muscle tightness, reduce discomfort, and enhance holistic healing. 

Extracorporeal pulse activation treatment (EPAT®)

EPAT emits acoustic pressure waves into painful or damaged tissues to increase blood circulation and stimulate your body’s natural healing capability.

Fall prevention, gait, and balance training

Holsman Physical Therapy provides HolStep™ and No Fall Protocol® for balance training and fall prevention. The treatment uses an overhead harness system, physical therapy, and occupational therapy to minimize the risk of reinjury after surgery.
