Pre- and Post-op Management & Rehabilitation
Accelerate your Recovery with Pre and Post-Operative Physiotherapy
Any major surgical procedure can impose significant strain on the body, leaving individuals physically and emotionally vulnerable. Both before and after surgery, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in enhancing an individual's recovery.
Pre-operative physiotherapy, is a proactive approach aimed at preparing individuals scheduled for major surgery. This exercise-focused program offers several benefits, including
​
-
minimizing post-surgical pain and inflammation,
-
enhancing surgical outcomes by strengthening muscles and reducing recovery time,
-
improving muscle control and range of motion in affected areas.
-
shortening hospital stays and reduce long-term rehabilitation costs.
​
Pre-operative physiotherapy not only physically readies the body for surgery but also provides patients with confidence regarding what to expect during and after the procedure.
Following surgery, rehabilitation (rehab) begins promptly, often on the same day. Tailored to the type of surgery and injury, post-operative physiotherapy focuses on swiftly restoring movement. It aids in
​​​
-
improving circulation, thereby fostering quicker healing and lowering the risk of post-operative complications such as blood clots.
-
helps regain lost strength, movement, and overall function, while also alleviating pain and swelling around the surgical site.
This phase is critical as the body adjusts to bearing weight and recovering from the trauma of surgery.​
Physiotherapy's overarching goal is to enhance mobility, function, and overall well-being throughout the pre and post-operative phases of rehabilitation.
