Pre & Post Surgical Conditions

WHAT IS POST-SURGICAL REHABILITATION?

After your post-surgical recovery procedures have been completed, a comprehensive physical therapy program is paramount to regaining lost functionality. Although pain relief medications may be prescribed by your doctor, physical therapy relieves pain long-term by reversing muscle atrophy, regaining flexibility and mobility, and enforcing proper movement techniques. Pain management drugs simply mask pain, while physical therapy resolves the problem where it begins.

Specialized procedures, techniques, and modalities, such as ultrasound, joint mobilization, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, IASTM (Graston), blood flow restriction training, dry needling and home exercise systems are all ways that a physical therapist can aid your recovery. Our HealthQuest physical therapists will build a recovery plan that includes tailored stretches and exercises in order to help you heal and get back to your usual everyday life. HealthQuest Physical Therapy will help you get to your optimum levels of function after surgery.

WHAT IS PRE-SURGICAL REHABILITATION?

Pre-surgical rehabilitation has been known to benefit many surgical patients. The goal of Pre-Surgical PT is to build a solid muscular foundation around the problem area and preemptively instill a regular stretching/exercise routine onto the patient. Starting a pre-hab program early will improve post-surgery recovery by reducing muscle atrophy and delayed onset muscle soreness.

When you are as strong, flexible, and healthy as you can be when entering surgery, you will be able to regain normal function much more quickly. By consulting with one of our HealthQuest physical therapists, you can find out what treatment plan is best for you to achieve optimum results.
