Post Operative Rehabilitation

After your surgery it is important to begin the rehabilitation process as soon as possible to ensure that the procedure is successful and your recovery is optimised. Following any operation you are left with general muscle weakness, swelling, scar tissue and adhesions and a reduced range of motion. 

Our physiotherapists will guide your post surgical rehabilitation and provide hands-on individually tailored treatments with an exercise-based rehabilitation regime to ensure the best outcome from your procedure.

At ELITE Physiotherapy we are trained to assist you in the post-operative rehabilitation for a number of surgeries including:

• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions
• Hip and knee replacements
• Rotator cuff repairs
• Muscle/tendon rupture repairs
• Arthroscopes
• Broken bone repairs

Before your operation our physiotherapists can assist in your preparation exercise program and therapy or “pre-hab”. This allows you to increase muscle strength and joint range of motion before your surgery as well as decrease any swelling following any initial injury. Pre-hab not only allows greater success from your procedure but also aids in significantly speeding up your post operative recovery.
