What is Pre Surgical Therapyโ Pre Rehab?
While the importance of physiotherapy after surgery is well-udestood and appreciated, you may wonder at the role of physiotherapy before surgery. In recent years, surgeons around the world are laying stress on the importance of Pre-hab because studies have shown that when a patient goes through physiotherapy at least a month before going for operation, the speed of recovery is significantly increased. So if at all you or your loved one is about to go through a surgery, the best insurance at fast recovery would be a month-long pre-hab. Contact us at SWAhealth Physio Rehab Clinic. to know more and schedule an appointment.
What is the Purpose of Pre-Surgical Therapy?
Physiotherapists aim to help their patients achieve the following targets before surgery:
โข Prepare both physically and mentally for surgery
โข Limit the pain and inflammation that come after surgery
โข Improve patterns of movement and range of motion specially around the area to be operated upon.
โข Help patients gain more control of the muscles surrounding the area to be operated upon.
โข Aid in developing physical fitness and general well-being.
Around the world, Surgery is performed as a last recourse when there is no other option to achieve the desired level of result because it is always somewhat traumatic to the body. Loss of strength and function will always be there after surgery. However, through a pre-hab, this loss is significantly reduced so that the body bounces back on recovery path with much greater speed.
Because a pre-hab makes you stronger before surgery, your increased strength helps in your recovery greatly.
