Surgical Prep and Rehabilitation
Physical therapy is often recommended after surgery to help patients regain strength, mobility, and function. Surgery can leave patients with muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and limited mobility, which can make it difficult to perform everyday activities and may increase the risk of falls and other complications. Physical therapy can help address these issues by providing a customized treatment plan that is tailored to the individual patient's needs and goals.
Physical therapy after surgery typically involves a combination of exercise, manual therapy, and other modalities that are designed to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. The specific treatment plan will depend on the type of surgery, the patient's age and overall health, and the extent of the injury or damage.
Post operative care being performed in your home is one of the best uses of my services. As an outpatient physical therapist, I have seen hundreds of patients following knee, hip, and shoulder replacements, rotator cuff repairs, lumbar spine surgery and many others. One of the greatest barriers for these individuals is just getting to therapy. Driving after surgery is often either not allowed per your protocols, or is just very uncomfortable to do. Adding to this, icy conditions, stairs to get in/out of your house, and leaving your comfortable couch and ice pack all can be cumbersome.
No need to worry about any of those obstacles when you have PT in the comfort of your own home!
