treatment before and after surgery
Treatment before surgery is useful to give you advice on the surgical procedure to be performed and to prepare you by reducing limb swelling, restoring joint motion and boosting muscular strength. This will mean that recovery after surgery will be much easier as you will be well informed about what to expect. Physiotherapy treatment after surgery aims to restore normal active function through a progressive programme of manual therapy and exercise. Your physiotherapist will set specific goals and rehabilitation protocols based on the surgeon's guidelines. These are then linked to an agreed timeframe for when activities may be resumed such as the return to competitive sport or normal activities.
