Orthopedic surgery, while often necessary, can have a large recovery benefit to get back to optimal functioning in our daily activities. Petersen Physical Therapy offers both pre- and post-surgery therapy near Tempe, Mesa, and Maricopa.
Exercise plays an important role in regaining function and strength after undergoing an operation. Physical therapy after undergoing surgical procedures will reduce the patient’s risk of re-injury as well as shorten the amount of time it takes to recover and get back into a regular and healthy lifestyle. We have been providing post-surgical physical therapy and rehabilitation to Arizona residents for over 30 years.

- Ligament or tendon reconstructions or repair
- Cervical and lumbar spine surgery
- Rotator cuff repairs
- Foot and ankle surgery
- Knee or knee replacement surgery
- Joint replacement surgery
- Elbow surgery
- Hip surgery
- Shoulder surgery
- Joint replacements
At Petersen Physical Therapy, we work together with patients and their physicians to develop an individualized exercise program and achieve the maximum level of healing and get you pain free while reducing recovery time.

- Range of motion exercises
