Journey to Mobility: Pre-Post Knee and Hip Surgery Physiotherapy Strategies

Facing the prospect of hip or knee surgery can be a journey filled with uncertainty. However, having the right pre and post-surgery physiotherapy strategies in place can not only expedite your recovery but also ensure a smoother transition to full mobility. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we are committed to providing our patients with comprehensive and personalized physiotherapy plans that are designed to guide them through their pre and post-surgery recovery phases. Let's explore how our expert team can help you on your journey to renewed mobility.

Pre-Surgery Physiotherapy: The Foundation of Recovery

Before surgery, it's vital to prepare your body, so you have a robust foundation for recovery. Pre-surgery physiotherapy, often known as prehabilitation, involves empowering patients with knowledge about their surgery and the recovery process, along with improving body strength, overall fitness, movement functionality, and mental preparedness.

Prehabilitation can reduce the severity of post-surgery pain, enhance recovery speed, and lower the risk of complications. Our experienced physiotherapists will create a personalized prehabilitation program based on your surgery specifics, personal health condition, and recovery goals.

Improving Strength and Flexibility

Ensuring muscle strength and flexibility is paramount in your pre-surgery preparation. Our targeted strength exercises primarily focus on the muscles surrounding your surgical area, enhancing stability, maintaining muscular strength, and preventing muscle atrophy.

Arming You with Knowledge

At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we firmly believe that knowledge is power. We educate you about your surgical procedure, expectations during your hospital stay, pain management strategies, and the healing timeline. This information is crucial for reducing anxiety, enhancing your preparedness, and promoting a positive mindset for your post-surgery recovery journey.

Post-Surgery Physiotherapy: The Key to Mobility

Post-operative physiotherapy is a vital component of your recovery journey, assisting you to regain full function and mobility. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we tailor a post-operative rehabilitation plan to suit your unique needs, recovery rate, and overall health status.

Reducing Swelling and Pain

Post-operative physiotherapy commences soon after your surgery, focusing initially on swelling and pain management. Our physiotherapists use a combination of ice application, elevation, gentle massage, and movement exercises that aid in reducing inflammation and pain.

Rebuilding Strength and Mobility

Once swelling and pain are under control, we shift our focus toward rebuilding your strength, flexibility, and mobility. Our experts employ a range of strength exercises, stretches, and functional training strategies that boost your recovery process, helping you regain your movement functionality and independence.

Ensuring Safe and Independent Movement

Our physiotherapists will guide you through a series of balance and coordination exercises, movement retraining, and gait training. These exercises aim to ensure you regain your balance and coordination, facilitating safe, independent movement.
