Post Operative Physiotherapy
Upon the completion of your surgery, you will require physical therapy to ensure a healthy and successful outcome. There are no shortcuts on the road to recovery. An appropriate post-operative physiotherapy care treatment, prescribed and supervised by a physiotherapist, takes time but it is vital to avoid any post-operative complications.
Physiotherapy is highly recommended for patients who have undergone the following surgeries:
- Spinal surgery
- Joint replacement
- Coronary Artery Bypass
- ACL repair
- Other musculoskeletal-related surgeries
Why Is Post Surgery Physiotherapy Important?
Effective pain management in Singapore plays a crucial role in the recovery process, helping you manage discomfort as you heal.
Limited movement following surgery can lead to a loss of function and muscle weakness, hindering the speedy recovery of soft tissues. Post-surgery rehabilitation helps restore your range of motion, strength, and stability, enabling you to return to your normal activities as quickly as possible.
Post-surgical physiotherapy treatment also helps in managing pain and limiting/eliminating your dependency on painkillers. Other benefits of physio care after your surgery include:
- Improves blood circulation
- Improve posture
- Ease swelling
- Reduces scar tissue formation
In the hospital, you will be provided with simple exercises to minimize complications such as chest infection or blood clots (DVTs). You may even be prescribed some early strengthening or range of motion exercises. Once discharged, regular follow-up is required to monitor your progress.
After surgery, you will certainly require exercise progression to fully regain your strength, flexibility, and function. Effective physical recovery, including joint replacement rehabilitation and mobility recovery, is essential for a successful outcome. Consulting a physiotherapist experienced in post-operative rehabilitation is vital.
