Why You Should Consider Pre- and Post-Surgery Physiotherapy
Most people are familiar with the benefits of post-surgery physiotherapy to speed rehabilitation after an auto injury, work injury, or other personal injury matter. When surgery is planned, however, there are additional benefits obtained when the patient starts physiotherapy before surgery as well. At Reyna Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Jaime Reyna specializes in pre- and post-surgery physiotherapy and spinal correction in Fresno, CA. Find out why you would benefit from participating.
Improved Surgical Outcomes
Committing to pre-surgery physiotherapy can actually increase your chances of an improved surgical outcome. Dr. Reyna will help you prepare for surgery mentally and physically. He will design a personalized treatment plan that centers around improving your overall well-being and health, increasing muscle strength and fitness, and normalizing movement patterns. He will also get you familiar with the rehabilitation exercises that you will begin immediately after surgery.
Faster Healing Times
The stronger you are physically and mentally before surgery, the faster you will recover post-surgery. Dr. Reyna focuses on physiotherapy exercises that strengthen core muscles, improve balance and coordination, and stabilize your health and fitness. The goal of these pre-surgery exercises is to get you to optimal health so your recovery time will be faster and easier, with less pain.
Reduced Risk of Re-Injury
After surgery, you are at an increased risk of a fall or post-surgery injury. Dr. Reyna will guide you through daily exercises and strength training programs that will improve your balance and mobility, increase your flexibility and dexterity, help you regain lost strength and improve endurance, and assist you with regaining your range of motion. You will be less likely to re-injure yourself, and you’ll be able to get up and around much sooner.
Lower Risk of Post-Surgical Complications
If you’re able to get up and around quickly post-surgery, you have a lower risk of post-surgical complications. Remaining sedentary or immobile after surgery will put you at risk of a blood clot, stroke, pneumonia, circulation problems, and swelling. Dr. Reyna will design a rehabilitation and physiotherapy program that encourages smart, healthy post-surgery movement.
