Post-Operative Physiotherapy

Post-operative physiotherapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on rehabilitation after surgical procedures. The primary goals are to restore function, decrease pain, and increase mobility, helping patients return to their daily activities as safely and quickly as possible. The treatments involved in post-op physiotherapy vary depending on the type of surgery, but there are common approaches and techniques used across many different types of post-surgical rehabilitation. Here is a detailed overview:

1. Initial Assessment: The first step in post-op physiotherapy is a comprehensive assessment. This includes evaluating the patient’s current physical state, understanding the surgical procedure they underwent, and identifying their specific rehabilitation needs. This assessment is critical for creating a personalized treatment plan.

2. Pain Management: Managing post-surgical pain is crucial. Our team employees use various techniques such as ice or heat therapy, electrical stimulation (like TENS), and manual therapy to alleviate pain. Controlling pain is important for enabling patients to participate actively in their rehabilitation.

3. Wound Care and Scar Management: In cases where surgery results in significant scarring, Our team employ techniques for scar mobilization and management to prevent tissue adhesions and improve skin elasticity.
