Pre and post-surgical rehab in the East Valley.

A date on the calendar changes what these weeks are for. Go in stronger, come out with more to work with.

What It Is

Stronger going in. Steadier coming out.

Most people spend the weeks before surgery waiting. Those weeks can be training instead: the muscles around the joint, the motion you still have, the crutches and the stairs you will be using on day one.

Then the other half. Swelling, stiffness, and scar tissue that sets if nothing moves it. We work inside your surgeon’s protocol and add load as it allows, so the joint learns to carry you again.

You are the one who plans ahead for everybody else. The rides, the freezer meals, the week off work. Plan ahead for the leg too.

Inside your surgeon’s protocol

What It Helps

The procedures we see most.

Weeks spent waiting are weeks the joint gets weaker. Surgery repairs the structure. It does not hand the strength back.

Questions, Answered

Before the date, and after.

My surgery is already scheduled. Is it too late to start?

No. Prehab is worth doing right up to the day before. Strength and motion you build now are still yours on the other side, and so is the practice: using crutches, getting into a car, taking a stair with one good leg. Tell us the date at your first visit and we build backward from it.

When can I start after surgery?

Your surgeon sets that, and we follow it. Bring your post-op instructions to your first visit, along with any limit on weight, motion or driving. If your protocol and our plan ever disagree, your surgeon wins and we adjust.

Do you perform the surgery?

No. Moore Physical Therapy is a physical therapy clinic and we do not perform surgery. Your surgeon owns the operation and the restrictions that come with it. We own the rehab on either side of it, with a licensed physical therapist directing your care at every visit. Questions before you book? Call your preferred clinic: Mesa (480) 218-1344, Gold Canyon (480) 982-7948 or Tempe (480) 833-7879.

Still Deciding?

Not sure where to start?

You don’t need to know which clinic or which service is right before you reach out. Start a request, or call the clinic closest to you, and we’ll help you sort out the rest.
