Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: The Road to Recovery

After surgery, the body needs time and support to heal. Without proper rehabilitation, patients may experience stiffness, muscle weakness, or even complications like joint immobility or poor circulation. A well-structured rehab program is tailored to the individual's specific needs, ensuring a faster and safer recovery.
Physical Therapy in Post-Surgical Rehab
Therapists create personalized exercise programs to rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and restore movement. Benefits include:
- Pain Management: Reduces pain and inflammation.
- Mobility Restoration: Prevents stiffness and improves joint movement.
- Strength Building: Rebuilds muscle strength and endurance.
- Balance and Coordination: Enhances stability and prevents falls.
Occupational Therapy in Rehab
Occupational therapy (OT) helps patients regain independence in daily tasks.
Therapists offer:
- Adaptive Equipment: Tools like grab bars and ergonomic utensils.
- Energy Conservation: Strategies to manage fatigue.
- Functional Training: Practice with daily activities.
- Cognitive Support: Exercises to improve memory and focus.
Rehab Phases
Recovery varies, but typically includes:
- Initial Phase: Pain management and gentle movement.
- Intermediate Phase: Strength and mobility exercises.
- Advanced Phase: Restoring function and returning to normal activities.
