Recovery after surgery
Physical therapy at home after an operation, once your surgeon says you can start. For people who would rather not manage a car ride and a waiting room while they heal.
This care is for you if
Your surgeon has cleared you to start physical therapy
Getting in and out of a car is hard right now
You want help with the stairs and the chair you actually use
Someone at home wants to know how to help
What a visit looks like
What we do
Ani follows your surgeon's instructions. She works on movement, strength and walking, then shows you the exercises you can do on your own. With your permission, she sends your surgeon's office a short note after visits.
What decides how many visits
What your surgeon has asked for, what you can do comfortably, how your body responds and what you want to do again. Ani adjusts the plan as you change.
Who treats you
Ani Sarkis, a physical therapist, at every visit. Nobody else comes to your door.
Meet AniHow it is paid for
You pay Satchel directly, and you get a written estimate before your first visit. We do not bill Medicare or other plans.
How fees work
- Chest pain, trouble breathing, a sudden severe headache or pain, new weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a fall with a head injury needs emergency care now. Call 911.
Questions about this care
Do I need my surgeon's approval?
Bring or send your surgeon's instructions before the first visit, and tell the office you are seeing a physical therapist at home. Ani follows what your surgeon has asked for.
What if something looks wrong?
Call your surgeon's office the same day for new swelling, warmth, redness or a fever. Chest pain or trouble breathing needs emergency care: call 911.
Can you work with my surgeon's office?
Yes, with your permission. Ani can call or send a short note, so your surgeon knows how you are moving.
Ready when you are
