Prehab builds strength, motion, and confidence before your operation, and research links it to smoother, faster recoveries afterward.
The weeks before surgery are an opportunity. Let's use them.
The stronger and more mobile you are walking into the operating room, the better your starting point walking out. Prehab builds the strength, range of motion, and movement habits your recovery will draw on.
It also takes the fear out of what comes next. You'll learn the exercises, meet the team, and know the plan, so after surgery you're not starting from scratch, you're picking up where you left off.
What prehab includes.
We measure where you are and build targeted strength and motion so you start recovery ahead.
You'll practice your post-op exercises now, so nothing about recovery feels unfamiliar.
Practical preparation for the first weeks after surgery, from setup at home to realistic expectations.
Your post-surgical rehab continues with the same clinic and the same familiar faces.
In Illinois you can start physical therapy without a doctor's referral, so there's nothing standing between you and relief. We accept most major plans and offer self-pay options. Not sure about your coverage? We'll check it for you before your first visit.
Here's exactly what your first visit looks like.
We start with your history, your symptoms, and the goals that matter to you.
We look at how your whole body moves to find what's driving your pain, not just where it hurts.
A hands-on treatment plan built around your body and your life, and a therapist who stays with you the whole way.
Every therapist on our team is trained in the entirety of the kinetic chain. That means we look at how your whole body moves, not just the part that hurts, and treat the cause instead of the symptom. You get that same care at all 10 of our clinics.
The same hands-on, whole-body approach guides every plan we build.
Every clinic is held to the same standard, set by therapists with advanced training in how the body moves.
You'll see the same faces at your home clinic, people who know your name and your goals.
"I highly recommend Sports & Ortho. They have an amazing team that always goes above and beyond to give you the best care. I am confident to go to back to training martial arts and my shoulder feels better now than before my surgery."
"I went to Travis and Erin At Sauganash Sports and Ortho before my Surgery for meniscus tears in both knees. They have been great."
