Pre- and Post-Operative Care
Pre- and Post-Operative Physiotherapy for a Better Recovery
Recovering from surgery can be challenging, but the right physiotherapy can make all the difference. Our tailored pre- and post-operative care helps NDIS participants and elderly individuals regain strength, mobility, and independence. Whether you’re preparing for surgery or recovering afterward, we provide expert support to optimise healing, reduce pain, and improve long-term outcomes.
Why Pre- and Post-Operative Care Matters
Proper physiotherapy before and after surgery is essential for a smoother recovery and better long-term results. Without guided rehabilitation, there’s a higher risk of complications, prolonged pain, and delayed healing. Our pre- and post-operative care helps you:
- Optimise recovery by strengthening muscles and improving mobility before surgery.
- Reduce pain and swelling through targeted physiotherapy techniques that prevent complications.
- Regain strength and function with personalised exercises that rebuild muscle control, balance, and coordination.
- Prevent re-injury by teaching safe movement strategies that lower the risk of falls or setbacks.
- Enhance independence by restoring mobility and confidence in daily activities.
How Our Physiotherapists Help
Our physiotherapists provide tailored support before and after surgery to help you recover faster and regain independence. We focus on reducing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening your body for long-term success.
1. Pain Management
We use manual therapy, gentle exercises, and techniques like heat or cold therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.
2. Restoring Mobility
Stretching, joint mobilisation, and movement training help you regain flexibility and prevent stiffness.
3. Strength & Stability
Targeted exercises rebuild muscle strength, improve balance, and support the surgical area for a safer recovery.
4. Gait & Functional Training
Walking retraining and functional exercises ensure you can move safely and perform daily activities with confidence.
5. Scar Tissue Management
Hands-on techniques help reduce tightness, improve circulation, and prevent movement restrictions.
6. Education & Home Exercises
We provide guidance on safe movements, post-op precautions, and personalised home exercise programs to support long-term recovery.
