How we can help

A treatment plan built around your recovery

Your care changes as healing progresses. We focus on what is appropriate now while preparing you for the next stage.

01

Protection & custom orthoses

Custom splinting when needed to protect healing structures, support alignment, or improve motion.

02

Swelling, pain & wound care

Practical strategies to manage edema, discomfort, wounds, and sensitive tissue.

03

Safe, progressive movement

Guided motion based on your injury, procedure, precautions, and stage of tissue healing.

04

Scar management

Hands-on care, education, and home strategies to improve scar mobility and comfort.

05

Strength & coordination

Gradual strengthening and functional retraining once the healing tissue is ready.

06

Return to daily life

Treatment centered on the specific activities you need for home, work, caregiving, and recreation.

The right care at the right time

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all.

The safest timeline for movement and strengthening depends on the bone or tissue involved, the type of procedure, fixation, healing progress, and your surgeon’s precautions.

Riviera coordinates with your referring physician when appropriate so your therapy plan supports—not outpaces—healing.
