If you’re having surgery, it’s important to prepare preoperatively in order to improve your post operative success and recovery process.
Pre-operative and post-operative physiotherapy can help you get back on track faster after surgery.
Common surgeries that require pre & post-operative physiotherapy
Pre-operative Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy before joint replacement surgery, also known as “prehabilitation,” can reduce the need for post-operative care by nearly 30%. This translates into significant cost savings!
Getting patients moving is critical to a successful recovery post-surgery. Improving circulation not only allows for faster healing but also minimises the likelihood of a blood clot forming.
Post-operative Physiotherapy
It assists patients in regaining mobility and recovering more quickly, as well as ensuring that any replacements or repairs made during surgery heal completely.
The appropriate post-surgical treatment can help you feel less pain and swelling following your surgery.
Our comprehensive approach will give you a head start on recovery as well as an increased range of motion from our targeted exercises, which can also help prevent post operative complications such as joint stiffness.
