Post-operative rehabilitation.

Surgical procedures are often associated with pain, limited mobility and muscle weakness. Adequate convalescence - which consists of, among other things, treatment and physiotherapy - is key to eliminating the undesirable effects of surgery and gaining mobility.

Post-operative rehabilitation is a physiotherapeutic procedure aimed at getting the patient back to physical activity as quickly and effectively as possible, with maximum safety in therapy.

Post-operative rehabilitation consists of activities that aim to:

● reduce pain, spasms, swelling and inflammation,

● prevent muscular atrophy,

● minimise the risk of thrombosis,

● prevent scar tissue overgrowth,

● accelerate tissue adhesion,

● increase deep sensation,

● improve the range and quality of movement,

● strengthen and stabilise muscles and joints,

● improve the sense of balance and posture,

● educate the patient e.g. in the area of correct movement habits and appropriate ways of performing daily activities.
