Role of Physiotherapy in Pre and Post Orthopedic Surgery

Share :

There are several reasons for Orthopedic surgery: fractures, broken bones, muscle injury, dislocation, tendon tears or ruptures, and more. In sports injuries or accidents, an orthopedic surgery can be recommended in extreme cases as well.

For seamless and fast recovery of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, it’s recommended to have regular Physiotherapy, since it has numerous benefits for patients.

In this article, we will share the role and importance of Physiotherapy in pre and post orthopedic surgery cases, and share how we at CureNow Wellness Physiotherapy can assist patients in this regard.

Role Of Physiotherapy In Pre & Post Orthopedic Surgery

Bringing Back Mobility, Strength & Confidence

Once an orthopedic surgery is completed, the affected areas (for example due to fracture, or dislocation) become weak and the strength is lost.

With regular and dedicated Physiotherapy, the patient can be empowered to get their mobility back and to increase their muscle strength gradually.

But how?

With guided Physiotherapy by experts from CureNow, the patient won’t be forming any blood clots in the impacted areas, and this ensures seamless blood flow for quick recovery.

Besides, with consistent Physiotherapy done by the patients, the weakened tissues and muscles get their strength back, which enables the patient to regain confidence and mobility, and they are able to perform their day-to-day activities with ease.

Systematic Pain Management

Since pain is both subjective and objective experience, Physiotherapy is recommended by Doctors for effective pain management post orthopedic surgery.

In fact, 45% of American patients demand a systematic pain management process to handle the chronic pain post-surgery, and Physiotherapy can prove to be a boon in such cases.

For both a speedy recovery and systematic rehabilitation of the patient, Physiotherapy is often the only way out. With regular and guided Physiotherapy, patients can not only reduce the pain experience but also regain strength, range of motion and have stronger muscles, that pave the path for a faster recovery.

At the same time, if proper Physiotherapy is not conducted after Orthopedic surgery, then the patient can experience muscle weakness, joint stiffness, contracture, which delays their recovery.

Physiotherapy Is Recommended After Which Ortho Surgeries?

After these orthopedic surgeries, Physiotherapy is generally recommended by the Orthopedists:

• Meniscectomies (when the entire torn meniscus or a part of it is removed, which is a typical knee joint.)
• Hip or Knee joint replacements
• Spinal surgery
• Ankle, elbow or knee reconstruction
• Shoulder replacement
• Laminectomies (when lamina, the back part of a vertebra is surgically removed)
• Rotator cuff repairs
• Physiotherapy Treatments For Pre & Post Orthopedic Surgery

Some of the most common and beneficial Physiotherapy exercises that are recommended for both pre and post orthopedic surgery:

Strengthening exercise to help muscles and tissues regain their strength

Mobility exercises to make the patient flexible and able to perform day to day activities

Electric stimulation and laser treatment to focus on the area of the impact
