Rehabilitation
Overview
The process of rehabilitation from surgery begins prior to your surgery. After first meeting Dr. Leone and scheduling your surgical date, you will be given specific exercises to do. These exercises condition your muscles and breathing. We have learned that if your body is used to doing these exercises before surgery, they are much easier to perform after surgery. We will not prescribe any exercise that hurts. Pain is your body “talking” to itself. We encourage gentle persistence and discourage pain.
Many of these same exercises will be continued during the postoperative period. Your medical team will make sure you have the equipment and resources you need, and understand how to perform the exercises and techniques that will maximize your recovery.
After Your Surgery
The day following your surgery, your rehabilitation will begin with two supervised physical and occupational therapy sessions. It will continue each day you remain in the hospital. Initially, you’ll be instructed on how to use a walker. You’ll be progressed from the walker to a cane or other ambulatory device as appropriate, with the goal of getting you walking on your own as soon as possible. Your therapist will teach you how to use devices like reachers and sock aids, as needed.

The point is this—the relationship you establish the moment you walk in the door is—for lack of a better word—nurturing. You’re not just another patient—you’re someone who needs their help—and they understand that above all—care and concern must be administered to you…Rich Roffman
