Post-Surgical Physical Therapy in Denver
Surgery Was Step One. Now Let's Get You Back to Peak Performance.
At Tundra Performance and Physical Therapy, we believe rehab goes well beyond getting you "functional" again. It's about returning you to a higher level of performance—whether that's dominating on the slopes, crushing your lifting goals, or living an active lifestyle without hesitation.
Surgery was the first step. Now it's time to rebuild strength, restore movement, and get you back to doing what you love.
Denver's Post-Surgical Rehab Specialists
Every surgery comes with its own challenges and timeline. Our specialized physical therapists know these rehab protocols inside and out, and we work directly with your surgical team to align your therapy with your performance goals.
From early-stage healing to high-level sport-specific drills, we guide you through every phase. No guesswork. Just clear direction and expert support.
Our Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Approach
-
Movement & Video Analysis After Surgery
We don't just focus on your surgical site. We look at the whole picture—your movement patterns, strength imbalances, and the specific demands of your sport or activity.
Using video analysis, we break down compensation patterns and identify areas where you might be overcompensating for weakness. Then we create a targeted treatment plan to address these issues so you return stronger and more capable than before your injury.
-
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy in Denver
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is a game-changer for post-surgical recovery. It accelerates muscle growth and strength development—especially in the early stages when you can't lift heavy yet.
We use BFR alongside a progressive exercise program during lighter-intensity phases to help you recover faster and more completely. It's one of the most effective tools we have for getting you back to your goals.
-
Customized Post-Surgical Rehab Programs
After your comprehensive assessment, we build a rehab program directed at the core of your deficits—solving the root issue, not just treating symptoms.
We combine manual therapy (including cupping and dry needling when appropriate) with exercises that integrate rehabilitation and strength training. The goal isn't just to heal. It's to make you better than you were before surgery.

Post-Surgical TESTIMONIALS
“After a significant shoulder surgery, Josh took a calculated yet appropriately aggressive approach that got me back to what I love.”
Josh was truly world-class. After a significant shoulder surgery, my goal was to return to heavy lifting as quickly and safely as possible. Josh took a calculated yet appropriately aggressive approach that got me back to what I love. Just four months post-surgery, I’m lifting with no restrictions and already at 70–80% of my pre-injury numbers. Having worked with numerous physical therapists across the Denver metro area, I can say without a doubt that Josh is the best. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to get strong and healthy as efficiently as possible.

With 3 ACL tears, I’ve worked with a few PTs. I can say with confidence that Josh is by far the best out there. He tailors his program to align with the priorities of his clients, offers realistic expectations, and gives honest, effective, feedback. He’s gotten me back where I need to be, just in time to be chasing pow all ski season!

— Skier“After an Achilles tendon repair surgery, I wanted a physical therapist and program that would not only get me back to normal activity but also make my body stronger overall.”
I began seeing Dr. Josh a few months after an Achilles tendon repair surgery. I had really plateaued under the surgery center's physical therapy as we only focused on the injury and not a full body approach. I sought out Dr. Josh as I wanted a physical therapist and program that would not only get me back to normal activity but also make my body stronger overall. From our first session I knew I was working with a different type of physical therapist, with an athletic and holistic approach to recovery and performance. I made huge improvements in the first few months at Tundra and I was pain free and stronger than before my injury. Four years later I am still happy to be working with Dr. Josh, but now it's for injury prevention and athletic goals. I am pain free and stronger than any other time in my life and I know it's because of the consistent work I put in with Tundra Performance.
