Physiotherapy is hugely important when preparing for surgery, it will assist recovery afterwards. Physiotherapists provide programmes in strengthening and educating prior to and after your surgery on any equipment that may be beneficial in recovery afterwards.

After surgery, Physiotherapy can help reduce pain, increase muscle strength, and correct movement patterns. This can be achieved through manual hands on therapy and specific exercise programmes tailored to the individual.

Following Orthopaedic surgeries such as total knee replacement, total hip replacement, lumbar spine and cervical spine surgery (discectomy, spinal fusion, tumour removal) and shoulder surgery each patient requires intensive rehabilitation to regain full strength, movement, and function.

 

Your Physiotherapist can guide you through the important stages in the months following your surgery to ensure that you achieve an excellent outcome.
