I have been a Physical Therapist since 2003. Over the years, I have seen healthcare change significantly. On the patient's side, I have seen insurance premiums and deductibles rise. On the Physical Therapist's side, costs associated with providing PT have gone up tremendously and reimbursement from insurance companies for services provided has been cut.
This is a formula that does not benefit the patient at all because not only does it make it challenging to provide patients with quality care, it also ultimately leads to a reduction in both patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. Have you ever been to a PT appointment and found you felt rushed with your health care provider? Physical Therapists may see as many as four patients in an hour, utilizing aides or assistants to supervise exercises and perform therapies including ultrasound or electrical stimulation.
Now more than ever, insurance companies have certain restrictions which place constraints on patient care. This often means that patients are in physical therapy up to three times per week for several weeks, which can be costly to the patient, extremely consuming, and sadly not very effective overall.

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines wellness as: "a multidimensional state of being, describing the existence of positive health in an individual as exemplified by quality of life and a sense of wellbeing."
Furthermore, the APTA believes that "physical therapists are uniquely qualified to assume leadership positions in efforts to prevent injury and disability, and fully supports the positive roles that physical therapists and physical therapist assistants play in the promotion of healthy lifestyles, wellness, and injury prevention."

It's a great idea to get a head start pre-surgery.
It'll not only take you through your recovery post op, but it will also allow you to more easily return to being independent.
If you need surgery, your doctor may advise you to see a physical therapist beforehand to do strengthening and range-of-motion exercises to help you recover more quickly after surgery has been performed.
This is called "pre-hab".
Evidence shows that when pre-hab is performed, even one or two sessions, it can dramatically improve the recovery from surgery.
