Pre and Post Surgical Rehabilitation for a surgery, such as a total joint replacement or knee meniscus repair, can make a major difference in your recovery. Those who participate in pre surgical rehabilitation tend to make quicker and more successful recoveries. Upon your initial evaluation, your therapist will take a thorough history and assess your baseline range, strength, mobility, and function. Your therapist will then create the most effective plan of care within your time frame. Pre surgical rehabilitation will focus on increasing muscle strength and gaining as much range of motion as possible and tolerated.
Pre and post-surgical rehabilitation involves a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, including questions about your pain patterns, history of symptoms, and how they impact your daily function. Your therapist will also inquire about your goals to ensure treatment aligns with your needs. This comprehensive assessment helps identify the root causes of your pain and sets the foundation for effective rehabilitation.
Your physical therapist will then assess your joint mobility, strength, flexibility, scar healing, and skin integrity. This helps them create a tailored rehabilitation plan targeting the areas that need improvement.
After the evaluation, your physical therapist will develop a personalized rehabilitation program designed to help you recover effectively following surgery. This program may include manual therapy to relieve muscle tension and improve joint mobility, along with exercises to boost flexibility, strength, and range of motion. The goal is to reduce pain, accelerate recovery, and restore function so you can return to your favorite activities quickly.
Whether recovering from shoulder surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure, a customized rehabilitation plan helps you heal safely and return to normal activities faster.
