Pre/Post-Operative Rehabilitation

At Peoples Physio, we understand that undergoing surgery can be a significant step in your journey towards recovery and improved mobility. That’s why our dedicated physiotherapist Malcolm is here to provide comprehensive pre and post-operative rehabilitation services to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our Approach

We take a proactive approach to pre-operative rehabilitation, focusing on preparing your body for surgery to enhance recovery and minimise complications. Our post-operative rehabilitation programmes are designed to promote healing, restore function, and help you regain independence following surgery.

Services We Offer

  • Pre-Operative Assessment and Conditioning: Comprehensive assessments to evaluate your current physical condition and develop a tailored exercise programme to optimise strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health prior to surgery.
  • Post-Operative Rehabilitation: Customised rehabilitation programmes tailored to your specific surgical procedure and individual needs, focusing on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving function.
  • Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as massage, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue mobilisation to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote tissue healing.
  • Exercise Prescription: Progressive exercise programmes designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, tailored to your stage of recovery and functional goals.
  • Gait and Movement Training: Techniques to improve walking patterns, restore normal movement patterns, and address any gait abnormalities following surgery.
  • Pain Management Strategies: Education on pain management techniques, modalities such as heat and cold therapy, and ergonomic advice to alleviate post-operative pain and discomfort.

Conditions We Treat

  • Orthopaedic Surgeries: Joint replacements (e.g., hip, knee, shoulder), ligament reconstructions, arthroscopic surgeries, and spinal surgeries.
  • Musculoskeletal Surgeries: Fracture repairs, tendon repairs, rotator cuff repairs, and soft tissue surgeries.

Benefits of Pre/Post-Operative Rehabilitation

  • Faster Recovery: Pre-operative conditioning and post-operative rehabilitation can help speed up the recovery process and improve overall outcomes following surgery.
  • Reduced Complications: Pre-operative rehabilitation can help reduce the risk of complications such as infections, blood clots, and post-operative stiffness.
  • Improved Functionality: Post-operative rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and function, allowing you to return to your daily activities and favourite hobbies with confidence.
