Pre and post operative

If you are suffering with a medical condition which requires surgery, it’s likely that such a condition has also brought with it some secondary issues, such as reduced mobility, restricted movement, pain in the affected area, or diminishing muscle strength. Taking these issues into surgery can slow down your recovery after your operation. However, if you undergo treatment to manage them before surgery, your recovery is likely to be much faster.

Pre-operative physiotherapy is all about getting you into the best shape you can be prior to surgery in order to increase the chances of a speedy recovery after the operation.

Post-operative physiotherapy is a form of rehabilitative treatment which can help to reduce pain and increase your range of movement following surgery. Undertaking post-operative physiotherapy will help with your recovery, focusing on breathing and circulation exercises to reduce the likelihood of you experiencing any post-surgery complications.

Pre- and post-operative physiotherapy is beneficial for:

  • Reducing pain and swelling
  • Restoring and maintaining a good range of movement
  • Increasing muscle strength
  • Improving mobility
  • Restoring your independence
  • Re-educating normal muscle patterning
  • Boosting confidence
  • Improving quality of life
  • Offering progression back to full activity, including sporting activity
