Surgery is often brought up as the last resort for treating an injury or debilitating condition because it takes such a large physical toll on your body. During recovery, it is difficult to safely complete tasks that used to be simple, like getting dressed on your own or even walking. If you are undergoing surgery soon, you should consider visiting a physical therapist for post-surgical rehabilitation.
At Peak Performance Physical Therapy in Jacksonville, NC, our team of licensed health care professionals can help regain your independence. We can help you feel like your old self again by helping you rebuild your strength and flexibility and by guiding you through personal living techniques.
How does physical therapy help post-surgical recovery?
While recovering from surgery, it may be tempting to stay in bed and wait until you feel better before getting back to your normal activites. However, this can actually prolong your recovery. By following professionally guided exercises and techniques, you can achieve your recovery goals at a reasonable pace that works for you.
At Peak Performance Physical Therapy, our treatments for surgery patients often focus on:
- Reducing pain
- Rebuilding your strength and flexibility
- Restoring your balance and range of motion
Our goal is to help you regain your independence so you can safely complete tasks like walking or going to the bathroom on your own again.
