Surgery Rehabilitation and Preparation
Surgery itself is never the long term solution. A successful surgery relies on high quality rehabilitation.
Tanunda Physio & Health can make sure you get back to your best quality of life. Don’t suffer with ongoing pain and restriction, we will guide you on the best surgery rehabilitation.
We can also help you prepare for surgery so that you have the best chance for faster recovery and better outcomes after the operation. Often the right early management can even prevent the need for surgery all together.
Your physiotherapist at Tanunda Physio & Health will help you return to maximal activity and the things you love!
Common types of surgery we help rehabilitate of prevent include:
- Joint replacements (shoulder, knee, hip, etc)
- Reconstructions (shoulder, knee, ankle, etc)
- Spinal (fusions, laminectomy, discectomy, etc)
- Arthroscopic (knee, shoulder, ankle)
- Muscle repair (rotator cuff, tendon ruptures)
- Many, many more
There are far too many to list them all and our expertise allows us to work with you both pre and post operatively to maximise your outcomes.
Treatment may commonly involve:
- Hands on therapy
- Massage
- Joint mobilisation (loosening)
- dry needling
- taping / bracing
- specific exercises (strengthening, stretching, controlled loading)
- Education and advice (including self management)
- AxIT Strength assessment
