Physical Therapy for Pre- and Post-Surgery
Did you know that you could do both pre-and post-surgery physical therapy to help aid your recovery from operations on the hip, knee, ankle, or spine? While post-surgical rehabilitation programs concentrate on reducing swelling, regaining pain-free range of motion, and increasing strength and endurance to help you return to daily activities, pre-surgical rehabilitation helps develop the muscles and increase blood flow to vital areas to aid in the rehabilitation process after surgery.
Treatment options for both pre-and post-surgery physical therapy may include:
Manual Therapy
Neuromuscular Activities
Targeted exercises to improve flexibility and strengthen muscles
Modalities such as ice, heat, and electrical stimulation
