Movement & Strength Training Before and After Surgery in Arcata
Prepare for activity before surgery or rebuild your training afterward, following your surgical team's recommendations and restrictions.
Before surgery
- Practice appropriate strength and movement within medical guidance
- Discuss activity goals and your current exercise capacity
- Build confidence with movements your provider has cleared
After surgery
- Begin only when cleared by your medical team
- Follow prescribed activity and loading restrictions
- Progress movement and strengthening at your individual pace
- Reassess as you work toward return-to-activity goals
Training complements surgical care and physical therapy; it does not replace them or guarantee a recovery timeline.

Real client results
“I came to Stilwell Health and Fitness because I broke my foot and was struggling to walk without experiencing pain. Within a few sessions I can feel such a difference in my body. My experience here has really enabled me to live my life pain free and without fear of participating in certain activities.”
“Started off going for my knee for something more minor. Ended up messing up my ankle pretty bad and haven't gone a week without seeing him since. It's hard not to when every appointment accomplishes something — even if it's minor, it's a huge step in recovery and has gotten me very far.”
