Recovery continues after you're cleared.
Careful soft-tissue work that supports the muscles and fascia around a surgical site as you return to normal movement, always after medical clearance and alongside your care team.
Why bodywork after surgery
After surgery, the tissues around the surgical area often guard, tighten and compensate, and nearby regions take on extra load. Once you're medically cleared, appropriate bodywork can support that surrounding soft tissue and help you move more comfortably as recovery progresses.
Common situations
- Hip and knee replacement recovery
- ACL reconstruction, after or alongside rehabilitation
- Rotator cuff and other shoulder surgeries
- Compensation patterns in the back, hips or neck that develop during recovery
How it works with your medical care
Medical clearance from your surgeon or physician is required before any post-surgical work begins. Evolve works alongside physical therapy and your care team, never in place of it, and the pace follows the guidance you've been given.
Sessions are adapted to your stage of recovery. Early work is gentle and focused on surrounding tissue; as healing progresses, treatment can address the movement patterns and compensation that build up along the way.
What to bring
- Your surgery date and procedure
- Any restrictions or precautions from your surgeon or physical therapist
- What you want to get back to doing
Evolve provides massage and bodywork therapy and does not diagnose medical conditions or replace medical care, rehabilitation or physical therapy.
