Structured return to function
Recovery after an injury or procedure should follow the diagnosis, healing stage, restrictions, and goals. SCHR builds progressive rehabilitation plans and coordinates with other providers when surgical protocols or medical clearance guide care.
When it may be considered
Your appointment
Review records, restrictions, and current healing stage
Establish baseline movement and tolerance
Begin with appropriate mobility or strength tasks
Track response and progress only when criteria are met
Expectations
Recovery is rarely linear. The plan should account for flare-ups without abandoning objective progress. New swelling, wound concerns, fever, unexpected weakness, or symptoms outside the expected course may require medical review.
Contact the office if symptoms change unexpectedly or you are unsure whether a reaction is normal. Emergency symptoms should be evaluated through urgent or emergency medical care.
Common questions
Often yes. Bring the surgeon's protocol and any written restrictions.
The office can discuss appropriate record sharing and care coordination with your authorization.
Return decisions depend on healing, symptoms, function, sport demands, and any physician restrictions—not only time elapsed.
