Find Post-Op Rehab in Knapp’s Corner in Grand Rapids, MI

Whether as an elective procedure or because of a physician’s orders, many people choose to have surgery as a treatment option for an injury or medical condition. Most people save surgery as a last-resort option because surgery can be tough on your body. But, when no other options are working, surgery may be your best choice.

If you’re facing an upcoming surgery, you need to be thinking about post-op rehab to help you face post-surgical challenges like loss of strength and coordination.

The team at Advent Physical Therapy has been assisting patients in West Michigan with their post-op needs for more than 19 years. Our physical therapists use modern techniques and technology as part of a comprehensive recovery plan to help improve your quality of life after an operation.

• Rebuilding your strength
