Physiotherapy Post-Surgical Treatment
Everyone deserves a healthy and successful recovery from surgery, which is why our treatment plans focus on minimizing negative post-surgical effects and creating a safe and comfortable environment for you to heal. After a procedure, our goal is to help you avoid or manage adverse effects, such as pain and swelling, as well as help you return to your normal movements and functions.
To achieve the best possible outcome after surgery, visiting Expert Physio Plus soon after the procedure will help you get back to doing what you love. Our therapists will customize your treatment program to fit your condition and personal goals.
Our post-surgical rehabilitation will focus on these key elements of success:
- Alleviating pain
- Decreasing swelling
- Improving range of motion
- Returning strength to pre-injury levels and beyond
- Restoring balance and coordination
- Preparing you for a safe return to daily life
What to Expect From Post-Operative Pain Management Physiotherapy Treatment
Post-surgical rehabilitation involves progressive stages to help you reduce pain and regain natural functions. Depending on the surgery, the affected area may be temporarily immobilized while pain and swelling subside. During your first consultation, we will assess your injury, how it was sustained, and the details of your surgical procedure. Your therapist will carefully examine your surgical site, range of motion, strength, and swelling levels.
As you recover, we will teach you specific exercises to gradually restore your range of motion, strength, and stability so you can eventually return to your pre-injury activity level. Depending on your condition and type of surgical procedure, techniques that we’ll use in recovery include:
- Education about your condition and how to manage symptoms at home
- Range of motion exercises
- Targeted manual (hands-on) therapy techniques
- Strengthening exercises
- Training to restore posture, balance, and coordination
- Gait analysis and training to improve your walking patterns if necessary
