Pre- and Post-Operative Care in St. Petersburg

At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we provide expert pre- and post-operative care to help you maximize recovery, minimize complications, and return to the activities you love—often with greater confidence and ability than before surgery. Whether you’re preparing for surgery, recovering from it, or seeking to avoid it altogether, our advanced techniques, holistic approach, and personalized care will support you every step of the way.

What to Expect

Surgery is a significant decision, and our goal is to ensure you’re fully informed and prepared. Before surgery, our highly skilled physical therapists evaluate your condition to determine if we can help you avoid or postpone surgery through advanced therapeutic interventions. If surgery is required, we’ll help you prepare physically and emotionally, ensuring you’re set up for optimal recovery and long-term success.

Unlike traditional physical therapy, which often discharges clients before they’ve reached their full recovery and potential, we go beyond basic rehabilitation. At Back 2 Normal, our comprehensive care ensures you regain confidence and return to the activities you love—often achieving greater functionality and ability than before surgery.

Preventative Care​

Surgery isn’t always inevitable. At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we take a whole-body approach to healing, combining advanced techniques and cutting-edge technologies to frequently help clients eliminate the need for surgical intervention.

Our team also has access to a comprehensive network of specialists, including experts in regenerative medicine, acupuncture, and other innovative therapies. This collaboration allows us to explore a wide range of alternatives to surgery, providing you with a broader spectrum of options for your care.

  • Proactive Solutions: Discover therapeutic options that address pain and dysfunction without surgery.
  • Informed Decisions: Gain insights and access to resources that empower you to make confident choices about your health.

  • Clear Expectations: Know what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
  • Stress Management: Access supportive services and advanced technologies to ease your mind and body.

Physical Preparation

  • Diet Modifications: Support healing and reduce inflammation with tailored nutrition advice.
  • Holistic Therapies: Incorporate essential oils, advanced technologies, and innovative techniques to manage pain and scarring.

Post-Operative Care

  • Comprehensive Recovery: Go beyond basic rehabilitation to recover fully and confidently.
  • Enhanced Outcomes: Use technologies like Neufit, Blood Flow Restriction, laser therapy, Normatec Compression Boots, to help you return to the activities you love, often with improved performance and functionality.
