Pre/Post Operative Physiotherapy

Why Is PRE-surgery Physiotherapy Important?

  • Builds a "Strength Buffer": Targets muscles around the affected joint so your body has a stronger baseline to rely on immediately after surgery.

  • Teaches Post-Op Mechanics: Trains you on how to safely use crutches, walkers, or log-roll out of bed before you are in pain.

  • Lowers Surgical Risks: Boosts cardiovascular health and lung capacity, which minimizes the risk of post-op respiratory issues or blood clots.

  • Reduces Pre-Op Pain: Safe, low-impact movements reduce inflammation and joint stiffness leading up to the operation date.

Why Is POST-surgery Physiotherapy Important?

  • Restores Range of Motion: Prevents joint stiffness and breaks down scar tissue through early, guided movements.

  • Re-educates Muscles: Reconnects the neurological pathways to muscles that "switched off" due to surgical trauma and swelling.

  • Manages Pain and Swelling: Uses specialized techniques like gentle mobilization, elevation, and compression to control inflammation.

  • Regains Independence: Progresses your training from basic daily tasks, like standing up, to advanced movements like climbing stairs and walking unassisted.
