How REACT Table Therapy Helps Post-Surgery Recovery

Recovering after surgery can be challenging. Muscles weaken, mobility can be limited, and pain may slow your progress. That’s where REACT Table therapy comes in. At Free Motion Physical Therapy in Clearwater, this innovative, non-invasive treatment helps patients regain strength, improve circulation, and accelerate post-surgery recovery—all while remaining comfortable and fully clothed.

What is REACT Table Therapy?

REACT stands for Repetitive External Activation and Contraction Technology. It’s an FDA-cleared therapy system that uses Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation (ExMI) to stimulate deep muscles, nerves, and tendons without surgery, needles, or direct skin contact.

Unlike traditional exercises that may not fully engage weakened muscles, REACT Table Therapy creates involuntary contractions in targeted areas, allowing therapists to:

• Rebuild muscle strength
  
• Restore neuromuscular control
  
• Improve circulation and coordination
  
• Reduce pain and muscle spasms
  

This makes it an ideal complement to post-surgery recovery therapy or any muscle recovery therapy plan.

How REACT Table Therapy Supports Post-Surgery Recovery

After surgery, it’s common for muscles to atrophy or become inhibited due to immobilization. REACT Table Therapy targets these hard-to-reach areas, providing benefits that traditional therapy alone may not achieve:

• Prevents muscle atrophy and weakness
  
• Improves joint mobility and range of motion
  
• Reduces downtime and speeds overall recovery
  
• Enhances performance for active patients or athletes
  
• Offers safe neuromuscular re-education for better movement patterns
  

Patients can expect a safe, comfortable session lasting 20–30 minutes, where magnetic pulses stimulate deep tissue. Some mild muscle fatigue may occur—similar to what you’d experience after exercise—but without invasive procedures.

What to Expect During Treatment

Each treatment plan is customized to your individual needs. Here’s how a typical session works:

1. Evaluation: Your therapist assesses your condition to tailor your plan.
   
2. Treatment: You remain fully clothed while magnetic pulses stimulate targeted muscles.
   
3. Sensation: You may feel tingling or involuntary contractions in the treated areas.
   
4. Frequency: Sessions are often scheduled multiple times per week, depending on your recovery goals.
   

Your safety is our priority. REACT Table Therapy is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or have implanted electronic devices like pacemakers, and certain medical conditions may require provider clearance.
