Pre & Post-Operative Rehab in Manhattan

NYC Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Services

Dr. Miro specializes in physical rehab by optimizing patient recovery from a broad range of operations.

We treat patients who have undergone the following types of procedures:

  • Herniated Disc Surgery
  • Lower Back Surgery
  • Hip Surgery
  • Knee Surgery
  • ACL Reconstruction
  • Neck & Shoulder Surgery
  • Foot & Ankle Surgery

For patients with more extreme injuries or conditions, restoring strength and function may only be possible through surgical intervention. As a physical therapy and sports medicine expert in New York City, Dr. Miro works closely with athletes and active adults to optimize pre-surgery conditions and speed post-surgery recovery. His extensive training and expertise make his hands-on care the perfect complement following surgery for a comprehensive range of musculoskeletal injuries.

How Can Rehab Help You?

  • Faster recovery times
  • Reduced pain and soft tissue swelling
  • Increased strength and improved range of motion
  • Balance and stability restored
  • Endurance built up

When to Schedule Physical Therapy Before Surgery

During treatment, Dr. Miro will address your pain and focus on strength and mobility therapies. For some patients, this pre-operative care is highly effective and may even eliminate the need for surgery in the long-run. Those with a more extensive injury or debilitating disorder may ultimately require surgery, but pre-operative therapy can still help build up strength.

Using a range of physical therapy and sports therapy techniques, Dr. Miro works with patients to conservatively and carefully prepare the joints, muscles, and other soft tissues for the procedure. Getting your body ready before you undergo surgery will better position you for effective rehabilitation after your procedure.

Proven Treatments, Happy Patients

I found Dr. Rolland Miro through a web search, and it turned out to be the best decision I’d ever made. It took less than a month of treatment before my headaches stopped and my running shoes were back on. By the end of 4 months, my symptoms were completely gone – I NEVER thought that would happen! Dr. Rolland knew exactly what he was doing and helped me more than I ever thought possible.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
