Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Pre-operative refers to the time leading up to surgery when you can learn all there is to know about the process and how to recuperate afterwards. It makes you less anxious about the procedure and guarantees a quick recovery. Under the guidance of a physical therapist at Bakone Physiotherapists, pre-surgery rehabilitation enables patients to prepare for and recover after surgery safely. It increases joint mobility and range of motion to better position patients for a successful surgical procedure. Pre-surgical rehabilitation prepares the muscles for the exercises they will need to perform after the surgery. Pre-operative rehabilitation aids patients in easing discomfort, reducing swelling, boosting endurance, improving general fitness, regaining range of motion, and regaining strength and flexibility in the muscles and joints close to the affected area. Physical therapy before surgery helps patients recover more quickly and with better results. At Bakone Physiotherapists, we will perform a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to ascertain your physical capabilities and design the finest rehabilitation programme.
Post-surgical rehabilitation is essential for pain-free function and to resume everyday activities safely and more swiftly. Patients are safely eased back into everyday activity and routine exercise during post-operative physical therapy. At Bakone Physiotherapists, we complete an assessment following surgery and create a personalised treatment plan to reduce side effects and restore typical movement, flexibility, and function. Additionally, it will increase your range of motion, stability, muscle strength, and endurance. Rehabilitation following surgery assists patients in controlling post-operative discomfort, regaining range of motion and strength, and reducing pain, stiffness, and oedema. Physical therapybegins as soon as possible following surgery to maximise the joint's ability to recover and minimise scar tissue formation. Post-surgical rehabilitation can last for several months. A quicker recovery will result from physical therapy after surgery. We will also offer advice on resuming activities like jobs and sports. Under the supervision of a physiotherapist at Bakone Physiotherapists, your post-surgery rehabilitation often gets started in the hospital the day after your procedure and continues once you are sent home.
