Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

What is post-operative rehabilitation & how does it help?

Post-op rehab is a crucial phase that aims at regaining pain-free function and returning to daily activities and regular exercise. It also helps to regain motion and strength and decrease pain, stiffness, and swelling which are often complications of any surgery.

Common surgeries for which post-operative rehabilitation is helpful:

• Orthopedic Surgery: bone, joint, and muscle repairs, reconstructions, and replacements

• Spinal and Neurological Surgery: spinal fusions, disc repairs, and replacements, brain surgery, and other procedures

• Abdominal and Thoracic Surgery: surgery for the internal organs.

• Obstetric and Gynecological Surgery: postnatal, hysterectomy, gynecological repairs and reconstructions, and other procedures

• Urological Surgery: bladder and prostate surgery

• Breast Surgery: resections and reconstructions.

How can Physiotherapy help?

Postoperative rehabilitation can take several months. It is essential to begin physiotherapy shortly after surgery so that the joint can heal properly, minimize scar tissue development and help recover faster.
