What This Service Includes And How It Gets Results
Post-surgical knee rehabilitation at Auto-ness Physical Therapy is a personalized, runner-specific program that bridges the gap between surgery and real-world running.
We start with a thorough assessment of strength, mobility, gait, and swelling to set your baseline.
A common misconception is that time alone heals the knee, or that generic post-op exercises are enough. Runners need progressive, sport-specific loading, coordination work, and graded impact to truly return to form.
Your plan blends hands-on care, targeted strength training, mobility work, neuromuscular control, and progressive impact drills. We use run mechanics coaching and interval progressions to reintroduce miles safely.
The result is a knee that is strong, stable, and ready for the demands of your training.
