Surgery is a big step, but it’s only one part of the healing process. Whether you're preparing for an orthopedic procedure or recovering afterward, physical therapy plays a critical role in ensuring you regain strength, mobility, and confidence.

✨ Before Surgery: Prehab

Preparing your body before surgery can dramatically improve your recovery. Our prehab programs help you:

Build strength in the muscles that support the surgical area

Improve flexibility to reduce post-op stiffness

Boost your circulation and healing capacity

Learn helpful pre-surgical mobility strategies

Enter surgery stronger, which often leads to a smoother recovery

✨ After Surgery: Post-Op Rehabilitation

We help you:

Reduce swelling and pain

Restore joint mobility

Rebuild strength and balance

Improve scar mobility

Prevent compensations that cause future pain

Return to your normal activities with confidence

Chronic back pain can feel overwhelming - the stiffness in the morning, the ache after sitting too long, or that sharp twinge when you bend or twist. But the good news is this: you don’t have to live that way.

At Amber Hill Therapy Centers, we take a full-body, customized approach to treating back pain.

How PT Helps Chronic Back Pain:

Builds Core + Spinal Stability: Strengthening the right muscles takes pressure off irritated joints and discs.

Improves Mobility & Flexibility: Targeted stretches help restore normal movement so your back isn’t constantly fighting itself.

Reduces Tension & Inflammation: Hands-on techniques, joint mobilizations, and therapeutic exercises calm irritated tissues.

Corrects Posture & Movement Patterns: Many back issues come from how you sit, stand, lift, and move. We fix that.

Prevents Future Flare-Ups: A strong, balanced spine means fewer setbacks and more confident movement.

We wanted to share a quick update with our Jefferson community. Over the next few weeks, our Jefferson office will be supported by therapists from our other Amber Hill locations while we prepare to welcome a new therapist to the team.
Our new therapist will begin on February 23rd, and we are looking forward to expanding services and care for our patients. More details coming soon.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued trust. We are excited about what is ahead.

Winter weather is beautiful, but shoveling snow can strain your back, shoulders, and neck if you’re not careful.

Smart Shoveling Tips:

Warm Up First: 3-5 minutes of light movement prepares your muscles and reduces injury risk.

Choose the Right Shovel: A lighter, ergonomic shovel puts less stress on your back.

Use Your Legs, Not Your Back: Bend your knees, keep the shovel close, and lift with your leg muscles.

Push, Don’t Lift: Whenever possible, push snow aside rather than lifting heavy piles.

Take Frequent Breaks: Fatigue increases injury risk — step inside, stretch, and hydrate.

Listen to Your Body: Sharp pain or shortness of breath means it’s time to stop immediately.
