Post Surgery Physical Therapy near Elkridge, MD
Did you just had shoulder or elbow surgery? Or foot and ankle surgery? May be Hand and Upper Extremity Orthopedic surgery? Probably knee replacement or ligament reconstructions? Read below why is Physical Therapy Important After Surgery.
Post operative rehabilitation
When you have surgery to any part of the body, you are inflicting necessary trauma to the tissues and joints in order to repair the damage. This typically results in pain, swelling, lack of mobility and decreased strength. Physical therapy is essential to improve these symptoms and restore your ability to move as you had before surgery.
Why is physical therapy important after surgery?
- Faster healing
- Movement improves blood flow for better healing
- Regain normal joint movement
- Reduce build-up of scar tissue
- Reduce swelling
- Optimize muscle function and strength
- Reduced pain
- Utilization of various hands-on techniques, as well as passive treatments can help to reduce pain for faster recovery and better outcomes.
- Improved outcomes
- Early intervention after surgery speeds up recovery for improved chance of returning you to your activity level prior to surgery.
What post surgical patients do we typically see?
- Joint replacements (arthroplasty of the hip, shoulder, knee, ankle)
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, meniscus surgery, chondroplasty, and other ligamentous/cartilage surgeries in the knee
