Post operative Care and rehabilitation
The prospect of surgery, whether it's in the near future or just behind you, can be daunting. The period after an operation is a critical time for your body to heal, and proper rehabilitation is the key to a successful recovery. Our post-operative care and rehabilitation program is designed to guide you safely and effectively through every stage, helping you regain your strength, mobility, and confidence.
Wherever You Are on Your Journey, We Can Help
We understand that recovery isn't always a straight line. You might be at the very beginning, preparing for what's to come, or you might be further along and have hit a roadblock in your rehab. No matter where you are, we can provide the support and expertise you need.
If You're About to Have Surgery
Preparing for surgery involves more than just the operation itself. Thinking ahead about your recovery can make a significant difference in your outcome. We can help you get a head start.
-
Pre-Operative Assessment: We can conduct a pre-operative assessment to evaluate your current strength, flexibility, and overall function. This baseline measurement helps us create a more accurate and personalised rehabilitation plan for after your surgery.
-
Strengthening and Conditioning: Depending on your situation, we may be able to provide you with a pre-operative exercise program. Strengthening the muscles around the surgical site beforehand can lead to a faster and more efficient recovery afterwards.
-
Education and Preparation: We'll walk you through what to expect in the early days and weeks following your surgery. Understanding the process can reduce anxiety and prepare you for a smoother transition from the hospital to your home.
If You've Had Surgery
Your recovery is our priority. We work closely with your surgeon and medical team to ensure a seamless and coordinated approach to your care. Our program is a partnership, with our expert team providing the guidance you need to maximise your recovery and prevent complications.
-
Immediate Post-Op Care: Our initial focus is on pain management and gentle, early mobilisation as prescribed by your surgeon. We'll work to reduce swelling, protect the surgical site, and prevent stiffness from setting in.
-
Restoring Mobility and Range of Motion: Once it's safe, we'll introduce targeted exercises to restore the full range of motion in the affected joint or limb. This is a crucial step to prevent long-term stiffness and ensure proper function.
-
Building Strength and Stability: The next phase shifts to rebuilding your strength. We'll guide you through a progressive series of exercises, from gentle bodyweight movements to resistance training, to help you regain your strength and improve stability.
Keep Training and Avoid "Square One"
A major concern for many active people after surgery is the fear of losing all their progress. We understand you don't want to go back to "square one." Our approach focuses on keeping you active and engaged in your training while you recover. We'll design a program that allows you to safely train the rest of your body, so you can maintain fitness and muscle mass. This ensures that when you are ready to resume your full training, you are in a far better position than if you had completely stopped.
