How Physiotherapy Helps You Recover After Surgery
After your joint surgery, you’ll find the physiotherapists at Aldergrove Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre offer a supportive, healing environment.
Post-surgical rehabilitation in Aldergrove, BC aims to help you regain the greatest functional level possible.
Physiotherapy is supportive in healing in these areas:
Pain Management – Your physiotherapist will implement your custom treatment plan with soft tissue techniques, gentle joint mobilizations, and other therapy aids to help you manage your pain.
Avoids Muscle Wastage – Specific exercises ensure muscle wastage is kept to a minimum. You will start early and work through a progressive series of tailored exercises to keep pace with your improvement. Less muscle wastage means reduced recovery times.
Reduces Formation of Scar Tissue – Scar tissue can reduce your range of motion and cause pain. Physiotherapy techniques can reduce scar tissue formation and help desensitize affected nerves.
Improves Functional Ability – A physiotherapy rehabilitation program helps restore and improve your functional ability. Most often, your physiotherapist will recommend a combination of modalities to improve your function in a graduated way without aggravating your condition.
Increases Joint Stability – Physiotherapy can help regain joint stability with neuromuscular training and specific exercises.
Education – Physiotherapists help you by providing education so you don’t feel so in the dark about your condition. Your physiotherapist will provide you with post-surgery information on how to manage your recovery. They will help you with issues like:
- Understanding your surgery. What is the normal healing process? What are typical recovery times?
- Modifications to activities of daily living
- Possible complications after surgery
- Effective pain and recovery management strategies
