Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Recover Faster. Regain Strength. Get Back to Life.
Recovering from surgery? At ESR Physical Therapy, our expert team helps you heal safely, restore mobility, and return to daily activities with confidence. Our post-surgical rehabilitation programs are designed to accelerate your recovery, reduce pain, and rebuild strength—so you can get back to doing what you love.
Located in the heart of the Upper East Side in New York City, ESR Physical Therapy provides one-on-one care for patients recovering from orthopedic, spine, and joint surgeries, as well as other medical procedures.
Why Post-Surgical Rehab Matters
After surgery, your body needs more than rest—it needs the right movement, at the right time. Without proper rehabilitation, recovery can be slower and complications more likely. Our physical therapy team works closely with your surgeon’s protocol to:
- Minimize pain and swelling
- Restore range of motion and joint flexibility
- Rebuild strength, balance, and coordination
- Prevent stiffness, scar tissue, or muscle atrophy
- Improve circulation and promote faster healing
- Help you safely return to work, sports, or daily activities

We provide post-operative rehab for a wide range of procedures, including:
- Knee surgeries (ACL repair, meniscus tear, total knee replacement)
