I HAD SURGERY; WHY DO I NEED TO GO TO THERAPY?
The goal of physical therapy is often to prevent unnecessary surgery. However, there are times when the body will not heal without it. In this case, physical therapy improves post-surgery results.
Some of the most common orthopedic surgeries include: Shoulder Scope (subacromial decompression)
ACL Reconstruction Joint Replacements (knee, hip and shoulder) Ankle Fracture
Rotator Cuff or Labral Repair Knee Scope (meniscectomy)
How does physical therapy improve outcomes after surgery? Working closely with your surgeon, the Doctors of Physical Therapy at North County Water and Sports Therapy Center help you recover faster, safer, and with less pain compared staying at home with medication and the TV remote! 1. Your therapist educates and reminds you of any precautions (limitations required while you heal) and guides you on a safe return to the activities you love as soon as possible. 2. Hands on therapy and modalities help restore motion and reduce pain after surgery, leading to less medication and better sleep. 3. Your therapist provides an individualized exercise program tailored to restore motion and strength to get you back on track. 4. You also get education and feedback on your progress, as well as updates to your exercise and activity levels as you rebuild, which takes the guess work out of what you should be doing during your recovery.
If you need surgery, ask your doctor about physical therapy. When recommended, be sure to call us to schedule your post-op appointment at 858-675-1133. Call as soon as possible so you don’t lose time returning to work, sports, fun, and life!
