If you have an upcoming surgery to treat an injury or a physical condition, you should be thinking about post-op rehab. Surgery takes a drastic physical toll on your body that makes it challenging to complete daily tasks, such as walking, on your own during recovery. Post-op rehab helps you overcome these challenges.
At Advent Physical Therapy, our physical therapists are skilled in providing post-op rehab for patients of all types. We have been helping patients in the West Michigan area for more than 19 years and are prepared to help you.
What to expect from post-op rehab with a physical therapist
Generally, physical therapy aims to rebuild strength and flexibility in your muscles and ligaments around the recovering area of your body. Depending on the nature of your operation, you may need physical therapy for help with the following:
- Developing your strength, balance and coordination
- Restoring your range of motion
- Preventing the buildup of scar tissue
- Aiding in pain management
- Performing tasks like walking, getting dressed or going to the bathroom on your own
