Pre and Post Surgery Rehab
What is postoperative physiotherapy?
Post-Operative Physiotherapy aims to help people to restore optimal mobility and overall functions in the body. It also helps in
1) Building muscle strength, improving posture and balance of the body.
2) Reducing pain with various manual therapy that is crucial for strengthening weakened and disused muscles.
3) Restoring normal movement patterns and habits.
4) Returning to recreational activities, sports and peak performance.
What is preoperative and postoperative?
The final phase, known as the postoperative phase, is the period immediately following surgery. As with the preoperative phase, the period can be brief, lasting a few hours, or require months of rehabilitation and recuperation.
Once the patient is awake and ready to leave PACU, the post-anesthesia nurse will typically transfer the responsibility of care back to the perioperative nurse. (In smaller hospitals, the same person may be tasked with both responsibilities.)
Postoperative care is mainly focused on monitoring and managing the patient’s physiological health and aiding in the post-surgical recovery. This may include ensuring hydration, monitoring urination or bowel movements, assisting with mobility, providing appropriate nutrition, managing pain, and preventing infection.
