Methods offered

After surgery

Rehabilitation & physiotherapy

In-house, on-site physical therapy department; lengthening patients stay in West Palm Beach for daily PT. The published protocol is phase-tied — roughly 5 days/week during the lengthening phase, tapering to 2–3 days/week during consolidation — and targets range of motion, strengthening and contracture prevention. (The initial inpatient phase and some aquatic therapy are handled off-site.)

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.

Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.

Medical disclaimer

This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
