The 5 Pillars of Care

1) Prehabilitation

Consultation with our Orthopedic‑Fellowship‑Trained PT
We prime your body for surgery so you bounce back faster. Expect:

• Baseline movement & strength assessment

• Pre‑op mobility & core‑stability program

• Nutrition, sleep, and stress strategies to improve tissue healing

• Home setup checklist (safety, devices, help at home)

Outcome we’re aiming for: Better strength, better circulation, lower complications.

2) Pain Management (Starts before surgery)

We map a plan tailored to you—no one‑size‑fits‑all. We’ll cover:

• Current medications, safe tapers, and perioperative timing

• Multimodal analgesia plan to reduce opioids

• Expectations for the first 72 hours, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks

• Rescue protocols and when to call us

Outcome we’re aiming for: steadier comfort, clearer head, smoother rehab.

3) Pre‑Op Clearance & Logistics

We de‑stress the prep:

• Coordinate medical/dental clearance and labs

• Solve last‑minute hiccups (authorizations, imaging, DME)

• Travel & lodging guidance when needed

Outcome we’re aiming for: buttoned‑up paperwork and zero scramble before surgery day.

4) Post‑Operative Management

Rehab + In‑house Pain Consult (as needed)

• Early protective mobility, scar and swelling care

• Progression from ADLs → functional strength → performance

• Wound and nerve checks; imaging only when indicated

• On‑call access for red‑flag symptoms

Outcome we’re aiming for: confident movement and a predictable return to life.

5) Post‑Operative Follow‑Up

Pain & Therapy Continuity

• Cadenced follow‑ups at 1–2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months (or as directed)

• Objective milestone tracking (ROM, gait, sleep, return‑to‑work/sport)

• Adjustments to meds, PT, and activity targets

Outcome we’re aiming for: sustainable results and a smart transition back to sport/work.
