Post-Surgical Rehabilitation in Greater Houston

Surgery Was Just the Start. Now It’s Time to Rebuild—Smarter, Stronger, and Without Limits.

You’ve made it through surgery—no small feat. But if you think that was the hard part, think again. What happens next will determine whether you get back to doing what you love—or stay stuck in an endless loop of stiffness, weakness, and doubt.

If you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or active adult in Greater Houston, you’re not looking for basic physical therapy. You want elite-level recovery. Results that last. And a team that actually understands what it takes to return to your sport—or your life—without shortcuts or setbacks.

At IAR Sports Medicine, we specialize in just that.

Not Just Recovery. A Comeback.

This isn’t your typical rehab clinic. We don’t follow cookie-cutter timelines or pass you off to techs. At IAR, every session is 1-on-1 with a fellowship-trained clinician—because your recovery deserves our full attention.

We don’t just help you heal. We help you rebuild.

And because we operate on a direct-pay model, you get the care you actually need—not the care insurance companies think you deserve.

No unnecessary delays. No red tape. No wasted visits. Just expert care designed around you.

What Does Post-Surgical Rehab at IAR Actually Look Like?

We don’t believe in passive care. At IAR, recovery is active, strategic, and structured around your timeline—not insurance authorizations.
