Post-operative Physiotherapy: Essential for Your Surgery Success
Undergoing surgery is a significant step towards improving your health. However, the success of your surgery isn’t only about the operation itself; effective post-operative rehabilitation is crucial. This includes strengthening muscles around the surgical site and restoring the function of your entire limb. Often, unused muscles weaken, necessitating comprehensive rehabilitation for optimal recovery.
Research indicates that surgeries like knee and hip replacements benefit greatly from at least 6 weeks of supervised rehabilitation. More complex procedures, such as ACL reconstructions or Hip Arthroscopies, require extended rehabilitation. Indergaard Physiotherapy provides tailored rehabilitation packages to support your recovery journey.Â
Also, remember, preparing your body before surgery is as vital as the post-operative care. We can help enhance your pre-surgery mobility and strength, contributing to a smoother recovery and more successful surgical outcome.
