Surgical Management
Your plastic surgeon may refer you to physical
therapy before and/or after reconstructive surgery.
Your pre-surgical physical therapy assessment may
be to gather baseline data. This information will
become the basis for your post-operative program.
After surgery, your treatment will focus on:
• Pain management

• Range of motion and flexibility exercises
• Scar management
• Posture education
• Changes in your balance
• Fitness education
• Guidelines for return to activities of daily
living (ADL’s)
All physical therapy treatments are guided by a
specific protocol developed by your physician and
physical therapist based on your surgical technique.
