Pre-surgical rehabilitation focuses on optimizing the patient's physical condition before the procedure. This may include exercises to strengthen muscles, improve range of motion, and enhance overall functionality. The goal is to ensure the patient is in the best possible shape to undergo surgery, which can lead to better surgical outcomes and faster recovery.

Post-surgical rehabilitation begins once the patient is stable after surgery. This phase aims to restore mobility, strength, and function in the upper extremities. Physical therapists design personalized programs that include gentle range-of-motion exercises, progressive strengthening activities, and functional training tailored to the specific surgery performed. This rehabilitation is crucial for reducing pain, preventing complications, and facilitating a return to daily activities or sports. Regular assessments are conducted to monitor progress and adjust the rehabilitation plan as needed.
