Addressing Mobility and Recovery Needs
Early Post-Surgical Recovery Phase
For residents in Andover Borough who have recently undergone orthopedic procedures, regaining the ability to walk safely is a primary focus.

We assess your stability in your natural environment to develop strategies that improve your confidence. Identifying these risks early helps in creating a focused plan.

Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers for Andover Borough residents considering care at our Franklin clinic.
How do I determine if my Andover Borough home is suitable for a therapy session?
Most homes are suitable as long as there is a small, flat area for movement. We do not require a gym setup. A clear space of approximately six by six feet and a sturdy chair are usually sufficient for an initial evaluation and early-stage functional exercises within your residence.
What happens if I am not ready to travel to the Franklin clinic after a few sessions?
Our clinicians continuously assess your mobility and safety. If you are not yet physically ready for the transition to our Route 23 facility, we will discuss the clinical reasons and adjust the plan. The goal is to ensure you are stable enough to benefit from the clinic’s specialized equipment.
Can I request dry needling during my home sessions in Andover Borough?
Dry needling is typically reserved for our clinic environment in Franklin to ensure the highest standards of safety and hygiene. This technique requires a clinician assessment, as it can cause temporary soreness or bruising. We will evaluate your readiness for this modality once you transition to our office sessions.
Is scar care included in the initial home evaluation for post-surgical patients?
During a home evaluation, we assess the surgical site for healing progress. However, active scar care only begins once wounds are fully healed and we have received appropriate clinician clearance. We never work on open wounds, and these specialized sessions are often more effectively managed at our Franklin clinic location.
How early can I schedule my follow-up appointments at the Franklin office?
Once you transition from home visits to clinic care, you can take advantage of our early hours. The Franklin clinic opens at 6am Monday through Friday. This is particularly helpful for Andover Borough residents who want to complete their therapy before starting their workday or managing other daily commitments.
