Physical therapy after surgery is an important part of the healing process. Post surgery rehabilitation can help your body heal properly from your surgical procedure, strengthen and build muscles, and help you get back to the active lifestyle you love, faster.
Many people are surprised to learn that surgery doesn’t fix everything on its own. Once your damaged part is repaired, your body still must heal properly if you want to return to full strength and function. If it doesn’t, you could be left with new limitations on movement, painful scar tissue, and prolonged weakness. Don’t go through the time, expense, and hassle of a surgery only to stop before you have fully healed and are capable of doing all the things you need and want to do.
Post Operative Physical Therapy is the missing step that drastically improves the success rate of surgery while decreasing the downtime required. Think of surgery like an injury, the way your body experiences it. Getting cut open or scoped out is traumatic no matter what the purpose, so make sure you give it the care it needs to recover. If you do, you’ll feel better sooner, come back stronger, and prevent more pain and limitations. Isn’t that why you had the surgery in the first place?
There are some simple exercises you can do at home, on your own to ease any aches and pains you might currently be experiencing. These exercises can be done as part of post operative care too. Check out our guide to easing your knee pain at home!
