For
those who are preparing for orthopedic surgical procedures,
STS offers pre-rehabilitation services.
Pre-rehabilitation is an exercise program designed to shorten
the recovery time needed after surgery by strengthening the
muscles and insuring proper range of motion before a client
has orthopedic surgery. The program is designed according
to the scope of the surgery, the needs of the client, most
importantly, the instructions given by the physician. It
is administered by our STS Certified Athletic Trainer with
many years of experience in sports medicine and rehabilitation.
Post-Rehabilitation is for those who have
completed physical therapy for orthopedic injuries or surgery
yet still require
additional supervised exercise to continue gaining strength
and function. Exercise programs are designed and administered
by an athletic trainer or personal trainer with extensive
experience in this area. The program itself is specific to
each individual’s need based on consultation with the
client’s physical therapist and, when necessary, the
referring physician.
