Post-surgical PT for orthopedic and sports procedures
Elev8 provides post-op PT for a broad range of orthopedic and sports surgeries. Bring your surgeon's post-op protocol to your first session.
How we approach it
Structured recovery — surgery to full function
Acute phase
Swelling and pain management, protected range of motion, quadriceps or rotator cuff activation, and safe weight-bearing per surgical protocol.
Motion restoration
Progressive range of motion work, soft-tissue mobilization, scar tissue management, and normalization of gait or functional movement.
Strength rebuilding
Targeted loading of the surgical limb and surrounding musculature. Progressive resistance, neuromuscular control, and compensatory pattern correction.
Functional integration
Sport- or task-specific movement patterns, power development, agility work, and return-to-activity preparation.
Return criteria
Strength symmetry testing, movement quality assessment, and confidence benchmarks before clearing you to your target activity.

Doctor of PT every session

FAQ
Post-surgical rehab questions
When can I start PT after surgery?
The start date depends on your surgeon's protocol and procedure type. Many orthopedic surgeons initiate PT within days of a procedure; others specify a protected weight-bearing period first. Bring your post-op protocol to your first visit and Dr. Ken works within those parameters.
Do I need a referral for post-surgical PT?
Texas has direct access to physical therapy. You can schedule without a physician order. If your surgeon provided a referral or protocol, bring that along — it helps Dr. Ken align the plan with surgical goals.
Does Elev8 treat ACL reconstruction?
Yes. ACL reconstruction rehab is one of the more common post-surgical presentations Dr. Nwosu sees. The protocol covers early quadriceps activation, swelling management, progressive range of motion, neuromuscular control, and sport-readiness testing. Return-to-sport decisions follow strength and movement-quality benchmarks, not calendar dates.
How long is a post-surgical rehab program?
Duration depends on the procedure. ACL and joint replacement programs typically run 4–6 months to full return criteria. Simpler procedures like meniscus repair or rotator cuff repair may be shorter. Dr. Ken gives a realistic timeline after reviewing your protocol and doing the initial evaluation.
What payment does Elev8 accept?
Cash, Credit, FSA, and HSA. No insurance billing. No prior authorization delays.
