After surgery, proper rehabilitation is crucial for regaining strength and mobility. Our Boise clinic develops customized post-op plans considering Idaho's active lifestyle. We frequently work with patients recovering from knee replacements who want to return to hiking the Boise Foothills or rotator cuff repairs aiming to golf at BanBury.
Treatment includes manual therapy to improve joint mobility, targeted strengthening for the surgical area, and functional training tailored to your home environment. For those in multi-story homes common in the Bench area, we incorporate stair training early in recovery. During winter months, we address balance challenges specific to icy Boise sidewalks.
