Pre Post Op Physical Therapy

Preparing for surgery or recovering from an orthopedic procedure can feel overwhelming. At Tualatin Valley Physical Therapy, we focus on helping patients in Hillsboro and the Tualatin Valley through both pre and post operative stages with confidence. Our care is never rushed or limited by insurance requirements. Each session is a full 60 minutes with Dr. Benjamin Stokes, DPT, so your treatment is always focused, hands-on, and based on your unique needs. Whether you are planning for a joint replacement, ligament repair, or another orthopedic surgery, we help you build strength, flexibility, and function before and after your procedure. This approach helps reduce complications and speeds up your return to daily life, sports, or work. Located on South 1st Avenue, just a short walk from downtown Hillsboro, we are dedicated to helping active adults, athletes, and anyone who wants a safer, faster recovery.

At TVPT, we know that every surgery and recovery is different. Our private, cash-based model means we are not limited by the usual restrictions found in busy clinics. You are never left with generic routines or handed off to assistants. Dr. Stokes works directly with you during your entire rehabilitation, using skilled manual therapy, movement retraining, and progressive exercise that fits your specific surgery. Our clinic is trusted by active professionals, athletes, and families who want more than a standard plan. By focusing on prehabilitation, we help you go into surgery as strong and mobile as possible, which is proven to lower risks and help you heal faster. After your procedure, our sessions are built to restore your full function and confidence, whether you want to run, play sports, or get back to work without pain. Our reputation for quality is shown by our A rating with the BBB and our Spark Awards recognition for ethical, patient-focused care in Washington County.

When you begin pre or post operative therapy at TVPT, you will receive a detailed evaluation and a clear plan for your care. Each appointment is 60 minutes with Dr. Stokes, allowing time for focused manual therapy, movement retraining, and strength work. We start by checking your current movement, talking through your surgical plan, and setting goals together. In pre-op therapy, we address any weaknesses or mobility issues that could affect your surgery. After surgery, we guide you through safe, proven steps, using hands-on methods and exercise to reduce swelling, restore movement, and help you feel confident again. We also work closely with your surgeon’s recommendations and give you advice for home care to support your progress. Throughout your recovery, you have direct access to your therapist for questions or changes, so you always feel supported and informed.

Surgical recovery is about more than just reducing pain. It is about getting back to the activities and quality of life you care about most. At TVPT, we help you set practical goals and support you from early healing through full return to sport, work, or recreation. Many people come to us after feeling rushed or overlooked in larger clinics. Here, your therapy is never limited by short sessions or insurance rules. Our approach is based on performance-focused rehab, designed for active adults and athletes who want to do more than just get by. Whether you live in downtown Hillsboro, Orenco, or nearby Washington County, you can expect privacy, expertise, and a true commitment to your long-term movement health. We always focus on your goals, so you can return to what matters most, stronger and more confident than before.
