Receiving physical therapy care prior to surgery can help promote the best outcome for after surgery. Pre-Op physical therapy can help you mentally prepare for your recovery, help you become physically stronger, it can help reduce the risk of surgical complications, improve flexibility and strength around the surgical site, and can even help reduce the need or intensity of Post-Op PT. In some situations, pre-operative physical therapy can help you avoid surgery all together.

Post-Op Physical Therapy can help you regain strength after surgery, reduce swelling and pain, restore function and range of motion, improve your balance, and can help reduce scar tissue build-up. Physical therapy after surgery is a critical component to your recovery and return to activity.

TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, is when your jaw joint and surrounding muscles are experiencing compromised movement and pain. This could also result in 'clicking' or locking of the jaw, and can create difficulty with chewing.
