Physical therapists can help patients recover from a variety of injuries and physically limiting conditions, which includes surgeries. Surgery helps patients treat injuries and conditions that nonsurgical treatments cannot help, but it does come with plenty of its own challenges, like loss of strength and mobility.
If you’re scheduled to have surgery soon, you should consider finding a physical therapist to assist with your post-op rehabilitation.
Why do you need post-op rehabilitation?
Recovering from surgery takes away a lot of your independence you may have had before your operation. During your recovery, physical limitations make it difficult to complete simple tasks like going to the bathroom on your own.
At Peak Performance Physical Therapy, our team of licensed physical therapists can assist you in recovery from surgery by helping:
- Reduce pain
- Rebuild your strength and flexibility
- Restore your balance and range of motion
- Reclaim your independence by guiding you in through safely completing activities like getting dressed on your own
Our physical therapists work closely with you to meet your needs as an individual. Each treatment is developed with consideration of your recovery goals, medical history, age and level of fitness. Many of our post-op rehabilitation treatments help you by:
- Stretching and exercising your muscles and ligaments
- Cold and hot treatments
- Electrical stimulation
- Dry needling
- Aquatic therapy and more
Physical therapy can also help you prepare before your surgery. If you know about your surgery well enough in advance, please speak with a physical therapist about pre-op physical therapy to help strengthen your body to optimize your recovery.
