What is Post-Operative Rehabilitation?

The goals of rehabilitation are to reduce pain, restore mobility, strength & overall movement and guide the tissues to optimal recovery, ultimately helping the person to return to their previous daily lifestyle. Post-operative rehabilitation should start as soon as possible to negate any adverse effects that may arise after surgical intervention.

What are the side effects of surgery?

  1. Orthopaedic- pain, reduced strength, reduced range of movement, postural problems, swelling, balance and coordination problems
  2. Cardiac/thoracic- pain, reduced exercise levels, breathing difficulties, reduced mobility, postural problems
  3. Neurological- weakness, breathing difficulties, reduced mobility, muscle shortening, loss of sensation
