Pre and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Pre and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation involves a comprehensive approach to prepare individuals for orthopaedic surgery and facilitate optimal recovery afterward. Before surgery, a thorough assessment establishes baseline information, while post-surgery rehabilitation targets specific challenges associated with various surgical procedures.

Experienced physiotherapists coordinate pre-surgical treatment to optimise functional ability, ensuring enhanced recovery following procedures affecting mobility and functional capacity. Post-surgical rehabilitation is initiated immediately after surgery, focusing on pain management, muscle strengthening, mobility improvement, and overall well-being.

Overview

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation is beneficial for anyone experiencing pain, stiffness, reduced balance, coordination issues, muscle weakness, decreased mobility, reduced exercise tolerance, and less independence after surgery. The program starts upon discharge, focusing on physical and mental well-being for early recovery. Thorough evaluations and goal-setting maximise recovery potential and minimise secondary problems post-surgery.

Issues That Can get Solved

  • Pain, reduced strength, limited range of motion, and swelling post-orthopaedic surgery
  • Pain, shortness of breath, and postural problems post-cardiac/thoracic surgery
  • Weakness, breathing difficulties, and loss of mobility post-neurological surgery
  • Additional post-surgery problems like infection, reduced lung function, and deep vein thrombosis
