Post-operative Physiotherapy (Rehab):
Reduces Complications
Post-operative physiotherapy helps in preventing complications such as infections, blood clots, and respiratory problems.
Promotes Healing
It encourages tissue healing and reduces scar tissue formation, promoting better mobility and function at the surgery site.
Restores Function
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and endurance, gradually bringing the patient back to their pre-operative level of function or better.
Pain Management
Post-op physiotherapy uses various techniques to control pain, reducing the dependence on pain medications and their potential side effects.
Personalized Care
Physiotherapy programs are tailored to the individual's specific needs, surgery type, and personal health goals, ensuring a more effective recovery.
Improves Mobility and Independence
Early mobilization, encouraged by physiotherapists, helps in quicker recovery, reduces the length of hospital stay, and promotes independence in daily activities.
Role of Physiotherapy in Pre-Post Operative Medical Treatment
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in both pre-operative (prehab) and post-operative (rehab) phases of medical treatment, offering numerous benefits to patients undergoing surgery.
Pre-operative Physiotherapy (Prehab):
Strengthens Muscles
Physiotherapy helps in strengthening the muscles around the surgery site, which can lead to better surgical outcomes and faster recovery.
Improves Functional Capacity
It prepares the body for the stress of surgery by improving cardiovascular fitness and functional capacity, making the recovery process smoother.
Educates Patients
Patients are educated about the surgery, post-operative care, and the recovery process, which helps in reducing anxiety and improves compliance with post-operative care.
Teaches Breathing Exercises
For surgeries, especially involving the abdomen and chest, teaching proper breathing exercises pre-operatively can prevent complications like pneumonia.
Pain Management
Techniques like massage, heat treatment, and electrotherapy can be used pre-operatively to manage pain, reducing the need for medications.
