Why is Post-Operative Physiotherapy Beneficial?

Unfortunately the success of your surgery doesn't finish the moment you leave the operating theater. There is a famous quote:"The only place 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary." Vidal Sassoon.

Your surgeon will have skillfully performed a surgical procedure that is the initial step towards your successful outcome. However, you'll have to do some work in the form of exercises to optimize your results.

In hospital you'll be provided with simple exercises to minimize complications such as chest infection or DVT's. You may even be prescribed some early strengthening or range of motion exercises. Once you are discharged, you'll commonly require re-assessment and checking of your progress.

In Post-orthopaedic surgery, you'll almost certainly require exercise progression to fully regain your strength, flexibility and function. The quickest, safest and easiest way to return to your day to day activities is by consulting a physiotherapist experienced in post-operative rehabilitation.
