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 generally aim to start your rehab ASAP. This involves consulting with your surgeon, planning and setting goals with you, prescribing you a series of progressive exercises and assessing your progress. Everything we do aims at producing optimal recover outcomes after your surgery.
The importance of receiving a tailored rehab plan is:
- Reducing Pain and Discomfort, specially in the early stages when you feel the most uncomfortable;
- Speeding Up Recovery Time, particularly in the first few months (always depending on the type of surgery) progress is fairly quick and we aim to give you all the tools to start live normally again;
- Improving Range of Motion and Flexibility of the affected part progressively;
- Restoring Muscle Strength around the affected area;
- Helping Prevent Secondary Complications, as we can detect early signs of complications if the arise.
At JW Physical Health, we have long standing great relationships with many Sydney surgeons and Hospitals. Our physios will ensure to build a collaboration with your selected surgeon as whilst you do not require a Doctor’s referral to see a Physiotherapist, information regarding your surgery may be helpful.
Rehabilitation programs we conduct frequently include:
- ACL repair
- knee and ankle arthoscopy
- wrist and hand operations
- rotator cuff repair and shoulder stabilisation
- hip repair
- spinal surgeries (laminectomy, fusions and discectomy)
- ORIF fracture repairs
If you are not sure about the processes required, need more information or wish to get a second opinion, we are happy to organise a face to face consultation and/or phone call with one of our practitioners to help you and guide you in the right direction.
