What Kinds Of Surgeries Need Post-Surgical Rehab?
Post-surgical rehabilitation is a crucial aspect of recovery for most types of surgery. After surgery, physical therapists focus on reducing pain and inflammation, improving flexibility, and gradually increasing strength and endurance. In addition, physical therapy can help reduce the risk of complications such as blood clots and infections.
Post-surgical rehab is provided by Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness for the following types of surgery:
- Joint Replacement Surgery: Joint replacement surgeries, such as hip and knee replacements, require specialized physical therapy to restore range of motion, strength, and mobility. Recent research found that patients who participated in physical therapy after a joint replacement surgery had better pain management, function, and quality of life outcomes than those who did not receive physical therapy. Through a blend of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and functional training, physical therapists help patients regain balance and movement while reducing pain and inflammation.
- Spinal Surgery: Spinal surgery, including lumbar and cervical procedures, often necessitates physical therapy to address post-operative limitations. By focusing on core stabilization, spinal alignment, and flexibility, physical therapists provide a comprehensive approach to recovery.
- Other Orthopedic Surgery: Orthopedic surgeries are performed to treat a wide range of conditions, including joint replacements, fractures, tendon or ligament repairs, and spinal surgeries. Orthopedic surgeries, such as rotator cuff repair or ACL reconstruction, typically involve physical therapy to rehabilitate the affected joint or muscle. These procedures may be necessary due to injury, disease, or age-related degeneration.
Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness in Normandy Park, WA can help you recovery from all of these types of surgeries. We will help you regain your range of motion, strength, and function post-surgery. Call today and schedule an appointment today!
