What Exactly are Pre-surgical and Post-surgical Physiotherapy?

Pre-surgical physiotherapy is a therapeutic service designed to help patients planning to undergo surgical treatment soon and also aid patients’ recovery process after surgery. This therapy helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, increase joint mobility, increase body fitness, improve stamina, increase muscular strength, and fasten recovery. Most patients who opt for pre-surgical physiotherapy end up having a successful surgical outcome. A physiotherapist will recommend suitable individualized treatment, such as exercises to adopt in order to build muscles and improve your overall health.

On the other hand, post-surgical physiotherapy is recommended for patients who have recently undergone surgery. This therapy helps eliminate any underlying pain and discomfort that may negatively affect their recovery and ability to perform daily activities as usual. During post-surgical therapy, a physiotherapist will introduce a customized treatment plan to help lower surgery’s negative effects, improve muscular strength, avoid swelling, ease pain, and regain motion. Post-surgical therapy often takes a long period of rehabilitation time, depending on the type of surgery. Commencing your post-surgical rehabilitation is essential to ensure your joints and musculoskeletal system heal quickly.

What Should I Consider Pre and Post-surgical Physiotherapy?

Generally, physiotherapy plays a very important role in drastically improving patients’ lifestyles and health. Pre and post-surgical physiotherapy is a contributing factor toward attaining safe and successful surgical outcomes.

At Milestone Physio & Wellness Clinic, we understand that surgery can impact the body in a different style. As a result, patients are likely to suffer from uncomplicated and minor surgical problems, which may escalate to a more concerning health issue. To avoid this, we recommend pre and post-surgical therapy to ensure a patient is well-prepared before the surgery and recovers quickly after the surgery.

Although, it has been noticed that a lot of surgical patients often take pain relief such as Opioids to ease their pain after surgery. At Milestone Physio & Wellness Clinic, we do not recommend or advise our patients to use that due to its negative effect on the body. As a matter of fact, physical therapy does not only help patient ease pain and fasten recovery but also address possible underlying pre/post-surgical issues such as decreased function, muscle weakness, anxiety & fear, inhibiting scar tissue, infections, blood clots, bleeding, as well as other factors.

According to CDC, it was discovered an estimation of about 115 persons dies daily from excessive intake of opioids, and about 29% of people in Canada who are prescribed opioids often misuse the harmful drug. Therefore in order to curb this opioid epidemic affecting the socioeconomic class and country, the CDC recommends that people should consider alternative health care like therapeutic treatment over-prescribed medication.
