What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapists are experts in movement who specialize in treating mobility issues like walking and other physical activities. They focus on pain relief, muscle strengthening, and retraining your body to move correctly.
By doing exercises in the clinic and at home, you'll build strength, enhance balance, boost stamina, and reduce pain, all without medication or surgery side effects. At Stride, our physical therapists are as dedicated to your healing as you are and will support you in meeting your goals.
How Does Therapy Benefit My Well-being?
Starting a workout habit can be tough, especially with chronic pain. Many people use meds to ease pain or, sadly, stop being active. If exercising with pain worries you, you're in good company. Yet, there's a simpler path to staying active.
Our Stride physical therapists can guide you back to a painless, active life, helping you enjoy your favorite activities again. A healthy life requires work, but with routine, it gets easier.

Preparing for Surgery? Try Pre-hab to Speed up Your Recovery Process.
Getting ready for surgery? Understand that rehabilitation after surgery is key for a speedy recovery. It returns your movement and helps you stand on your feet again. Interestingly, rehabilitation before surgery, known as pre-hab, can also make your post-surgery recovery faster and even enhance the outcome of your surgery. Pre-hab means working with a physical therapist to prepare your body for surgery. Post-surgery, rehab takes over the healing process.
For a swift return to your daily life after surgery, consider Stript Physical Therapy in Freehold, NJ. Our dedicated team designs a personalized treatment plan to expedite your recovery and prepare you for your upcoming surgery.
Understanding Pre-hab vs. Rehab
Pre-hab: Participating in a pre-hab program with a physical therapist helps you get a head start on recovery and ensures a more successful surgery. Your therapist will prescribe exercises and therapeutic modalities to reduce inflammation and increase strength, giving your body an advantage as it heals from surgery. Even a few sessions can improve your overall health, so you have more strength to draw on post-surgery. Pre-hab prevents extreme weakness after surgery by building up your strength in advance.
Rehab: While pre-hab prepares your body for surgery, rehab focuses on strengthening your body afterward. Post-surgery pain and discomfort are natural, and certain motions may be challenging. However, it’s crucial to maintain movement to regain your range of motion and ensure a full recovery. Rehab helps you move safely, prevent reinjury, fight inflammation, and keep painful adhesions from forming. It also builds strength to help you quickly return to your routine.
What Results Can You Expect from Pre-hab?
Pre-hab dramatically helps people about to have surgery. Research from the Arthritis Foundation found that patients doing pre-hab recovered better after surgery and could leave the hospital sooner. Knee replacement patients who did pre-hab could walk and climb stairs well enough to be discharged from the hospital faster than those who skipped pre-hab.
