Recover Stronger, Not Just Sooner

Surgery is only half the journey. The other half happens afterward, in physical therapy. At SOPT North Kingstown, we help patients rebuild strength, flexibility, and confidence following operations large and small — from joint replacements to arthroscopic procedures.

Why Rehab Matters

After surgery, your body needs to relearn how to move safely. Without guided therapy, scar tissue, weakness, or stiffness can limit recovery. Our North Kingstown therapists work one-on-one to:

  • Reduce swelling and pain
  • Restore range of motion
  • Rebuild strength and coordination
  • Prevent compensatory injuries
  • Return you to daily activities

Your Rehab Timeline

1. Early Healing (0–2 weeks): Gentle, protective movement and pain control.
2. Mobility & Activation (2–6 weeks): Gradual motion work, light muscle engagement.
3. Strength & Control (6–12 weeks): Targeted exercises to regain stability.
4. Return to Function: Sport-specific or job-specific movement retraining.

Each timeline varies, and we adjust to your progress, comfort, and surgeon’s protocol.

Why Choose a Local Clinic in North Kingstown

Choosing a Rhode Island-based physical therapist means faster follow-ups and easier scheduling. Our Post Road clinic offers early-morning and late-day appointments — making rehab realistic for busy lives. Plus, we collaborate directly with many local surgeons, ensuring a unified plan of care.
