What Is Post-Surgery Rehabilitation?
Post-surgery rehabilitation is a specialised form of physiotherapy aimed at aiding recovery and restoring function after surgical procedures.
It focuses on pain management, improving mobility, and enhancing the overall quality of life for patients post-operation.
This rehabilitation typically involves tailored treatment plans that may include exercises, manual therapy, and therapeutic modalities specific to the type of surgery and individual patient needs.
Why Post-Operative Rehabilitation Is Important?
The post-operative rehabilitation process is crucial for several reasons:
-
Optimising Recovery: It helps patients recover faster by promoting healing and reducing complications associated with surgery.
-
Restoring Functionality: Rehabilitation programmes focus on restoring mobility, strength, and flexibility that may be lost or impaired due to surgery.
-
Preventing Complications: It reduces the risk of post-surgical complications such as muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and blood clots through targeted exercises and therapies.
-
Improving Quality of Life: To enhance physical function and reduce pain, rehabilitation improves the overall quality of life for patients post-surgery.
-
Facilitating Return to Normal Activities: It prepares patients to safely resume daily activities, work, and hobbies, promoting independence and confidence.
-
Addressing Specific Needs: Tailored rehabilitation plans address the unique needs of each patient based on their surgery type, health condition, and recovery goals.
​
These points underscore the importance of post-operative rehabilitation in ensuring a comprehensive healing process and long-term well-being for surgical patients.
