Pre and Post Operative Rehabilitation

Our pre and post-operative rehabilitation is tailored to each individual’s needs, considering the type of surgery, specific protocols, and personal rehabilitation goals. We aim to optimise recovery, restore function, and ensure the best possible outcomes by providing comprehensive support before and after surgery.

Pre-Operative Rehabilitation

Preparing for surgery is just as important as recovering from it. Our pre-operative rehabilitation focuses on conditioning the body to enhance strength, flexibility, and fitness. This preparation can help speed up the recovery process, reduce complications, and improve surgical outcomes. We also provide education on post-operative expectations, exercises, and pain management strategies, empowering you to feel more confident and prepared for the journey ahead.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Your post-operative rehabilitation is highly individualised, considering the specific type of surgery (e.g., orthopedic, joint replacement, spinal, or soft tissue repair), the surgeon's protocols, and your unique rehabilitation goals. We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your current condition, pain levels, mobility limitations, and functional capacity. Based on this, we develop a personalised treatment plan that may include:

Pain Management

We use various techniques such as manual therapy, modalities like heat or cold therapy, and guided exercises to alleviate pain and minimise swelling.

Restoring Range of Motion

Gentle stretching and joint mobilisation techniques help restore flexibility and range of motion in the affected area, preventing stiffness and improving overall mobility.

Strengthening Exercises

We incorporate exercises to rebuild muscle strength around the surgical site and the surrounding areas, supporting the joint or tissue and reducing the risk of re-injury.

Balance and Coordination Training

Improving balance and coordination is essential for safe movement, especially after surgeries that affect weight-bearing joints like the hip, knee, or ankle.

Gait Training and Functional Rehabilitation

For those recovering from lower limb surgeries, we focus on gait retraining to ensure safe walking patterns. Rehabilitation involves exercises and activities enabling you to return to daily activities confidently.

Scar Tissue Management

Techniques such as massage, mobilisation, and stretching help manage scar tissue, reducing tightness and enhancing mobility.

Patient Education

Education on safe movements, post-operative precautions, and home exercise programs is integral to ensure continuous progress outside of therapy sessions. We provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, ergonomic advice, and strategies to prevent future injuries.

Progress Monitoring and Adjustment

Throughout your rehabilitation journey, we continuously monitor your progress, adjusting the treatment plan as needed to ensure you achieve your rehabilitation goals effectively and safely.
