Physio Treatments to Help Your Recovery Before & After Your Operation
At JW Physical Health we specialise in tailoring your rehab program to meet your specific needs and goals. Our physiotherapists have extensive orthopaedic backgrounds and are skilled in a large number of post-operative physiotherapy protocols and rehabilitation programs.
Planning appropriately and meeting early with your physiotherapist may help you to put your mind at ease and better understand what you can expect from pre to post surgery. We’ll happily discuss possible treatments, outcomes, timelines and steps to take.
Pre-Surgery Rehab
- This is rehabilitation prior to surgery.
- If recommended by your surgeon, our physios can help prepare you for surgery by working on your range of motion, swelling, strength and stability as appropriate.
- It also includes education on your injury and mental preparation for what is to come after and at the time of your surgery.
- We will work together with your surgeon to ensure you the best outcome possible before your surgery journey starts.
Post-Suregry Rehab
- This is rehab after surgery and it starts as soon as possible.
- We will work with you on goal-setting, based on the sports/activities you wish to return to and it includes a clear and feasible Management Plan built with targets and timeframes to guide and support you along the way.
- We will use Manual Therapy Techniques, Exercise Prescription, Testing and Questionnaires.
- We will keep working together with your surgeon, we will update each other on your progress and we will follow his protocols to ensure you the best outcome.
The Importance of Post-Op Rehab
Once you are discharged from hospital, we aim to begin your rehabilitation as soon as possible. Early, structured rehab plays a critical role in achieving the best possible outcome after surgery. At JW Physical Health, this process involves close communication with your surgeon where required, setting clear goals with you, and guiding you through a progressive, individualised rehabilitation plan.
Every stage of your rehab is carefully designed to optimise your recovery and help you return to your normal activities with confidence.
A tailored post-operative rehabilitation program is essential for:
- Reducing pain and discomfort, particularly in the early stages when symptoms are often at their highest
- Supporting a faster recovery, especially in the first few months where progress can be made quickly with the right guidance
- Restoring range of motion and flexibility in a safe and progressive way
- Rebuilding strength around the affected joint or surgical site
- Preventing secondary complications, with early detection and management of any issues that may arise
At JW Physical Health, we have developed strong working relationships with many surgeons and hospitals across Sydney. While you do not require a referral to see a physiotherapist, collaboration with your surgeon can be valuable to ensure your rehabilitation is aligned with your surgical procedure and recovery timeline.
