Can Physio Help BEFORE Surgery?
Sometimes we are faced with the unfortunate reality of needing a surgery. Maybe you have torn your ACL and need a knee surgery, arthritis in the hip and are awaiting a hip replacement, or have a dislocating shoulder and are awaiting a shoulder stabilization surgery.
There are numerous pre surgical conditions that are usually accompanied with discomfort and a long waiting period between the injury date and the surgical day.
We often get asked if there is something that can be done before surgery to assist in the recovery. The answer is a resounding YES!
Pre surgical rehab is a type of treatment that we specialize in at MOMENTUM Physical Therapy. Our goal is to teach you about your upcoming procedure, provide you with some hands on treatment to ease your discomfort, and to get you started on some specific exercises to maximize your healing potential for after surgery.
We find that the stronger your body is before surgery, the better the recovery is after.
If surgery for a joint or muscle is on your horizon, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy, in Okotoks, today to find out how we can help set you up for surgical success. 403-982-5600
