Surgery can be scary, intimidating and overwhelming. However, Physio Health Clinic can support you on your surgical journey by offering a range of structured pre and post-operative rehabilitation programs to make it easier.
As with all conditions, primary physiotherapist, Andrew is passionate about providing expert assessment together with effective manual and exercise therapy.
By focusing on prescribed functional exercises, he can help you prepare for a procedure, and also restore your range of movement, decrease pain, improve muscle strength and mobility, and get you back to doing the things you love more quickly once your surgery is over.
Pre-surgery, Andrew will start by assessing patients for muscle and joint strength and mobility and advising them of preparatory actions accordingly. While post-surgery, he will also explain and demonstrate the correct post-operative exercises, and give guidance as to when these should be started to optimise the outcome of your surgery.
In either instance, he places a strong focus on education, exercise, and manual therapy to help you regain movement, strength, and normal function, getting you back to the tasks you love quickly and safely. And your pre and post-operative rehabilitation are always individualised depending on your surgery, protocols, and specific rehabilitation goals.
