Pre-operative Rehabilitation

Pre-operative rehabilitation allows patients to prepare for and recuperate from surgery safely under the supervision of a physical therapist. Physical therapy improves joint mobility and range of motion to prepare patient for a more successful surgery outcome. Pre-operative rehabilitation is an individualized exercise conditioning program that trains the muscles in advance for the exercises they will need to do post-surgery. Pre-operative rehabilitation helps patients to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, increase stamina, enhance overall fitness, restore range of motion and regain strength and flexibility in the joints and muscles near the injured area. Pre-operative physical therapy leads to faster recovery with better outcomes. This involves conditioning the body through exercise. This step is just as important as rehabilitation after surgery.

Post-operative Rehabilitation

Post-operative rehabilitation is crucial to regaining pain-free function and returning to daily activities safely and more quickly. Post-operative physical therapy safely eases patients back into daily activity and regular exercise. Our physical therapists perform a thorough evaluation post-operative and develop a customized treatment plan to minimize adverse effects from surgery and restore normal movement, flexibility, and function. Post-operative rehabilitation helps patients to manage post-operative pain, regain motion and strength, decrease pain, stiffness, and swelling and return to their daily activities more quickly.

Post-operative rehabilitation can take several months and it is essential to begin physical therapy shortly after surgery so that the joint can heal properly and minimize scar tissue development.. Some programs can help shorten the length of your hospital stay and reduce the need for post-operative rehabilitation.

After surgery, physiotherapist will show you how to get on and off a chair, use assistive devices, and improve your mobility. physiotherapist will teach you pain management strategies and create an exercise plan for faster recovery.
