Post-surgical rehabilitation

Post-surgical rehabilitation may be necessary for a variety of surgical procedures but mainly orthopaedic surgery. All types of surgery present with a number of post-operative consequences which can be helped with physiotherapy. Sports injury rehabilitation or ‘rehab’ is a structured programme designed by physiotherapists restoring full function as soon as possible encouraging a faster recovery and return to sport by  strengthening weakened muscle groups, reducing any pain and inflammation and helping to minimise the risk of future injuries by improving muscle action and tone, stamina, flexibility, balance  and coordination.
