THE BENEFITS OF PRE-HAB AND POST-OP THERAPY
Bounce Back Faster With PT Before And After Surgery Have you ever wondered how to ensure a smooth recovery after surgery? Do you want to minimize pain and get back to your normal activities as quickly as possible? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then pre-hab and post-op physical therapy may be just what you need. ALL ABOUT PRE-HABILITATION Think of pre-hab as preparing your body for the challenges of surgery and recovery. Just like an athlete trains before a big game, pre- hab prepares your body for the “game” of surgery. Benefits of Pre-hab • Improves strength and mobility, making surgery and recovery easier. • Reduces pain and swelling before surgery. • Can help shorten hospital stays. • Decreases the risk of complications. • Helps you understand what to expect after surgery, reducing anxiety.
What To Expect in Pre-hab • Manual therapy to improve circulation and help manage inflammation and reduce pain. • Exercises to improve range of motion, strength, and overall mobility. • Education on after-surgery pain management and proper surgical site care. • Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety. POST-OP PHYSICAL THERAPY Post-op physical therapy is all about rehabilitation and restoring your body to its optimal function after surgery. Benefits of Post-op Physical Therapy • Reduces pain and inflammation. • Improves range of motion and overall mobility. • Strengthens muscles and improves overall function. • Prevents complications like blood clots and infections • Helps you regain independence and return to your daily activities.

As we prepare for the 4th of July celebrations, here are key tips to ensure a joyful and healthy Independence Day: • Healthy Grilling: Opt for healthier grilling choices. Lean meats, fish, and a variety of vegetables can make your barbecue both delicious and nutritious. • Sun Safety: Apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and seek shade to prevent sunburn. • Fireworks Caution: Set off fireworks in a clear, open space away from buildings, vehicles, and vegetation. Always keep a safe distance and remember to have a bucket of water, a garden hose, or a fire extinguisher nearby. Enjoy the 4th while keeping your well-being at the forefront. We wish you a safe and happy Independence Day! TIPS FOR A SAFE AND HEALTHY 4TH
