Post-Operation Pain in Pooler
Post-Operative Healing That Moves You Forward
Recovering from surgery can feel overwhelming—but the right support makes all the difference. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we specialize in post-operative rehabilitation that helps you manage pain, improve movement, and get back to your daily life with greater ease and confidence.
What Is Post-Surgical Pain?
Pain after surgery is your body’s natural response to healing. This discomfort can stem from tissue damage, inflammation, swelling, or altered body mechanics during recovery. While post-operation pain is expected, without proper care, it can linger or become chronic. Early, targeted physical therapy helps prevent long-term complications and speeds up healing.
Types of Surgeries We Commonly Support
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we offer personalized rehabilitation for a variety of procedures, including:
- Total joint replacements (knee, hip, shoulder)
- Back and spinal surgeries
- ACL or other ligament repairs
- Rotator cuff procedures
- Abdominal and pelvic operations
- C-sections and gynecological surgeries
- Cosmetic or reconstructive interventions
How Physical Therapy Helps Ease Post-Operative Pain
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, our post-surgical rehab programs are designed to ease pain, restore strength, and improve your mobility—without excessive reliance on medication.
Here’s how we support your healing:
- Pain Relief: We use manual therapy, gentle exercises, cold therapy, and electrical stimulation to reduce pain naturally.
- Better Mobility: Post-operation stiffness is common. We gradually reintroduce movement to restore joint flexibility and ease.
- Reduced Swelling: Controlled motion and specific hands-on techniques promote circulation and decrease inflammation.
- Scar Tissue Release: Adhesions from surgery can limit movement. We use soft tissue work to break up scar tissue and relieve tension.
- Strength + Balance Training: After surgery, muscles weaken and coordination may suffer. We help you rebuild with a tailored program.
- Quicker Recovery: With consistent therapy, many patients bounce back faster and with fewer complications.
When to Begin Post-Surgical Rehab
We coordinate closely with your surgeon or referring provider to determine the ideal time to begin therapy. In many cases, rehab starts within days of surgery—beginning with light movement and gradually progressing to more active strengthening and mobility work.
What to Expect in Your Therapy Sessions
Each person’s healing journey is different. During your first visit at Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we’ll assess your surgical site, pain levels, range of motion, and overall function. From there, we’ll design a care plan that’s personalized and progresses as your body heals.
Your sessions may include:
- Guided therapeutic movements
- Hands-on manual therapy
- Pain and swelling reduction techniques
- Movement safety education
- Home-based routines for continued progress

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pain normal after surgery?
Yes, post-operation pain is a typical part of recovery. However, it shouldn’t prevent you from moving or returning to your routine. If pain lingers or worsens, physical therapy can help address it before it becomes a long-term issue.
How soon can I start therapy after my surgery?
In many cases, therapy can start within a few days post-op. We’ll coordinate with your surgeon to determine when and how to begin safely.
Will therapy hurt?
You may feel some soreness, but therapy is always adapted to your comfort level. Our goal is to reduce pain—not increase it.
Can therapy help if I had surgery months ago?
Absolutely. Many patients benefit from post-operation rehab even long after their procedure. Chronic pain, stiffness, or weakness can still be improved.
