POST SURGERY PHYSIOTHERAPY

Post-Orthopedic Surgery Physiotherapy: Guiding Your Path to Recovery

Undergoing orthopedic surgery is a significant step towards alleviating pain and restoring function in your musculoskeletal system. To ensure the best possible outcome and a smooth recovery, post-surgery physiotherapy plays an integral role. This specialized form of rehabilitation is tailored to your unique needs, surgery type, and overall health, with the aim of restoring mobility, strength, and independence.

What Does Post Surgery Physiotherapy Do?

Immediate Post-Surgery Phase:

As you wake up from surgery, your body begins its healing journey. Physiotherapy during this phase focuses on:

• Pain Management: Our physiotherapists work to alleviate post-surgery pain through gentle techniques, modalities, and proper positioning.

• Breathing Exercises: For surgeries involving the chest or abdomen, we guide you through breathing exercises to prevent complications and promote lung function.

• Early Mobility: Controlled movements and exercises help prevent stiffness and support circulation, minimizing the risk of complications.

Intermediate Rehabilitation Phase:

As you progress, the focus shifts towards regaining motion, strength, and stability:

• Range of Motion: Gradual exercises are introduced to improve joint mobility, ensuring you regain full movement without stiffness.

• Strengthening: Tailored exercises target specific muscle groups, helping you regain strength to support healing.

• Weight-Bearing Progression: For surgeries involving weight-bearing joints, we guide you through safely resuming weight-bearing activities.

• Balance and Coordination: Exercises are designed to enhance your balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls.

• Scar Management: Techniques to improve scar tissue mobility and prevent adhesions are incorporated to aid in healing.

Advanced Rehabilitation Phase:

This phase focuses on returning you to your pre-surgery level of function and beyond:

• Functional Activities: We design exercises that mimic daily tasks and activities you love, ensuring a seamless return to your routine.

• Proprioception and Neuromuscular Training: Advanced exercises challenge your sense of body position and control, promoting joint stability.

• Sport-Specific Training: Athletes receive specialized programs to safely reintegrate into their sports, with a focus on technique and injury prevention.

• Education: We empower you with knowledge about proper body mechanics, postural awareness, and long-term strategies to prevent future injuries.

• Long-Term Maintenance: You'll be equipped with a home exercise program to maintain your progress and prevent relapses.
