Post Operation Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists play a vital role in rehabilitating (or ‘rehab’), recover from his/her injury, illness or surgery:
Post Orthopedics Surgery
The success of orthopaedic surgery depends on what is done post operatively. Often, if not managed carefully with the help of a physiotherapist, the condition may experience ongoing problems with stiffness, pain, swelling and general lack of confidence to perform daily activities such as sitting, standing, or walking.
In the early stages, our physiotherapist will help to reduce pain, decrease swelling, increase joint range of movement and strengthen the muscles around the joint. In the later stages, physiotherapists will retrain on how and when can return to normal activities including work or sport. An exercise programme is designed to guide you back to your pre-operative activity and optimal level.
