At Nee’s Physical Therapy, we help patients recover after surgery with structured, one-on-one post-operative rehabilitation in Hoboken. Surgery is only one part of recovery. The weeks after surgery are when strength, mobility, confidence, and function are rebuilt.

We provide post-op physical therapy for ACL reconstruction, meniscus surgery, rotator cuff repair, labral repair, bunionectomy, spinal fusion, fracture repair, and joint replacement rehab, including total knee, total hip, and total shoulder replacements.

Your recovery plan follows your surgeon’s protocol, surgical restrictions, healing timeline, and personal goals, whether you want to walk comfortably, return to work, get back to the gym, or return to sport.
