Recovering from a major surgery can be physical and emotionally challenging. Doing everything you can do in your recovery can be helpful. As a matter of fact, Pre/Post operative physical therapy can make a significant difference in how fast you recover!
What is Pre/Post Operative Physical Therapy?
Pre operative physical therapy is performing strengthening prior to your surgery. It has been shown in the research to improve your strength and recovery after your surgery.
Post operative care is performing physical therapy after your surgery. It has been well-known in research to promote faster and better recoveries.
Altogether, Physical therapists have substantial medical knowledge that includes how surgery affects a person’s body. They understand the limitations of surgery so you can be pushed appropriately to quicken your recovery. While you might be pushed, our physical therapist's will not allow you to do any exercise that may slow your recovery or worsen your condition.
