Anthem Blue Cross+5 moreMy name is Arek. I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in orthopedic and sports-related injuries, with experience working with both active individuals and high-level athletes. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2020 and completed advanced orthopedic (2022) and sports (2024) physical therapy residencies through Adventist Health Glendale. My approach focuses on identifying the why behind your pain and creating a highly individualized plan to help you move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities you enjoy. I value clear communication, hands-on care, and progressive exercise, and I believe physical therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Physical therapy for post-surgical recovery near West Covina

What is post-surgical recovery?
Post-surgical rehabilitation is the process of restoring strength, range of motion, and function after an orthopedic procedure. Common surgeries that require PT include knee replacements, hip replacements, ACL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs, spinal surgeries, and arthroscopic procedures. The quality of your rehab directly impacts your surgical outcome — starting PT early and staying consistent makes a significant difference.
Common symptoms
- Pain and swelling around the surgical site
- Reduced range of motion
- Muscle weakness from immobilization
- Difficulty with weight-bearing activities
- Stiffness in the affected joint
- Compensatory movement patterns
- Fear of re-injury during movement
- Difficulty returning to normal daily activities
What causes post-surgical recovery?
Post-surgical limitations are a normal part of the healing process. Tissue needs time to repair, swelling needs to resolve, and muscles that were inactive during recovery need to be rebuilt. Without structured rehabilitation, scar tissue can limit range of motion, muscles can atrophy, and compensatory patterns can develop that cause new problems.
How home visits help with post-surgical recovery
Evaluation at home.The first visit is a full evaluation in the patient's home. The physical therapist asks about the history and goals, watches how the patient moves in the rooms they live in, and builds a plan of care.
Treatment where it happens. Visits follow that plan: hands-on treatment where it helps, and exercises taught with the furniture, stairs, and floors the patient uses every day.
The doctor stays in the loop.The plan of care goes to the patient's doctor, with progress notes as therapy continues, and follow-up visits run until the goals in the plan are met.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a physical therapist for post-surgical recovery near West Covina?
Yes. One of our licensed physical therapists who treats post-surgical recovery visits homes in West Covina, along with nearby Baldwin Park, Covina, and Azusa. Visits are outpatient physical therapy, covered by Medicare Part B and major insurers, with no homebound requirement.
When should I start PT after surgery?
This depends on your procedure and surgeon's protocol. Many surgeries benefit from starting PT within the first 1-2 weeks. Your PT will coordinate with your surgeon's guidelines.
Is this covered by insurance?
Yes. Spark is in-network with Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and more.
Is in-home physical therapy covered by Medicare?
Yes. In-home visits are covered by Medicare Part B. We're also in-network with Blue Shield, Anthem, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Humana, and other major plans, and we verify your benefits before the first visit so there are no surprise costs.
Will I see the same physical therapist each visit?
Yes. You're matched with a licensed physical therapist for your evaluation and every follow-up visit on the same plan of care.
Do you visit homes in West Covina?
Yes. Our physical therapists visit homes in West Covina and across greater Los Angeles, within about a 20-minute drive of where they're based. The best way to check your address is to get started and enter your ZIP code.
Is this the same as home health?
No. This is outpatient physical therapy that happens in your home, covered by Medicare Part B. Home health is a different Medicare benefit for people who are homebound, and it usually comes with nursing and other services. You don't need to be homebound to see us.
Can I see you while I'm getting home health care?
Not at the same time. Medicare doesn't cover outpatient Part B therapy while you're in a home health episode. Once your home health care ends, we can start. If you're not sure, ask us and we'll check.
Do I get to choose my physical therapist?
Yes. We have physical therapists across greater Los Angeles. You can learn about each one and request a visit with the one you want.
Do you accept my supplement plan?
Yes, we accept most Medicare supplement and secondary plans. When you book, we check your coverage in real time.
I've already reached the Medicare therapy limit. Can I still be seen?
Yes. Medicare covers therapy past that amount when it's medically necessary. Your physical therapist's evaluation and work with your doctor decide whether your care qualifies.
Can I pay cash?
For services Medicare doesn't cover, like wellness and fitness sessions, yes. Your physical therapist can talk through what that looks like, and we'll ask you to sign a Medicare notice (an ABN) before any service Medicare may not pay for.
Can you work with my family member or caregiver?
Yes. Your family member or caregiver can coordinate your care and be our go-to person. They can book for you on our page for caregivers.
