Post-Surgical Physical Therapy in St. Augustine
Recovering from knee replacement, hip surgery, shoulder surgery, or spinal fusion? Get back to full function faster with specialized post-surgical rehabilitation.
Why It Matters
Understanding your recovery
Surgery fixes the structural problem; physical therapy teaches your body to move correctly again. Without proper rehab, you risk prolonged pain and swelling, limited motion, muscle atrophy, compensatory patterns that cause new injuries, and re-injury. Nicole specializes in post-surgical cases — including ones where traditional clinic PT didn't deliver.

- Whole-body assessment to find the true root cause, not just the painful area.

- Modalities: Alpha-Stim and Dolphin Neurostim for pain and inflammation.
