Post-Surgical
Rehab

Structured, surgeon-coordinated physical therapy in Coral Gables, from your first visit after surgery through full return to activity.

RX MOVEMENT · Coral Gables

Your surgery was step one.
Rehab is where you recover.

The outcome of an orthopedic surgery depends heavily on the rehab that follows. At RX MOVEMENT you work with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy from your first post-op visit to your last, following your surgeon's protocol and progressing you as your tissues heal.

We keep your surgeon in the loop. Progress notes go to your physician after your evaluation and at re-assessments, so your care team is always working from current information.

We work with most major insurance plans, and we verify your benefits before your first visit so you know your cost up front.
