Post-Surgical Rehab
Post-Surgical Rehab
Why do you need rehab after surgery?
When you’re discharged from the surgeon after a surgery, you may be eager to go home right away and resume business as usual. Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy to do.
To get back to your normal, everyday life, you may need to take part in a rehabilitation program that involves a variety of therapies. These therapies may include physiotherapy, stretches, exercises, hands on manual therapies, and more. And though you may be tempted to skip it, doing so could cause new injury or unnecessary pain.
The Goal of Post-Surgery Rehab
The success of a surgical procedure depends largely upon how well you take care of yourself during your recovery period – and this is especially true for older adults. It can be easy to overexert yourself, or to experience atrophy from remaining inactive.
Post-surgical rehab is about striking the balance between rest and exertion so you can regain your strength while simultaneously allowing your body to heal. The goal of rehab after surgery is to get you back on your feet, so you can continue living a healthy and independent life.
