Considerations For The Post-Surgical Process

When more conservative curative care for an injury or chronic medical condition fails to achieve your desired results, many patients elect for surgical procedures. Sometimes, a surgery is the doctor’s first recommendation; only these invasive procedures can repair internal damage or badly broken limbs.

Whatever the reason for your surgery, the impact of the procedure, even a relatively minor one, on your body cannot be overstated. Even minimally invasive surgeries produce pain, swelling, inflammation, and some degree of limited mobility. Many people have to relearn how to do things all over again, or may realize that atrophied muscles have limited their mobility and independence.

Our Lakeway post-surgical rehab plans address all of these complications and more.

Our Clinicians Develop Personalized Physical Therapy Plans For Surgical Patients

When creating your custom plan, we carefully evaluate the nature of your procedure, your surgeon’s expected results, your age, weight, and overall health. We teach you how to safely regain your ability to move and carefully rebuild damaged muscles. Our holistic approach complements the treatment recommended by your surgeon and primary physician. We teach you how to safely perform essential tasks and functions, including your job duties as appropriate, so that you can accommodate the healing tissue and avoid recurring dysfunction.

Our physical therapy team helps you learn the right progression of exercises and activities so that your post-surgery recovery is smooth and successful. Physical therapy helps you resolve pain from your surgery instead of masking it. Our approach combines innovative techniques with tried-and-true physical therapy practices like home exercises, joint mobilizations, and non-invasive modalities, including electrical stimulation, cold laser therapy, and therapeutic ultrasound.

Depending on your post-surgical environment, our Lakeway post-surgical rehab team can help you with practical problem-solving, like getting in and out of bed, cooking and cleaning, going up and down stairs, and other activities of daily living. We may recommend using adaptive tools and durable medical equipment to help you go about your life while your body heals and you regain your range of movement.
