Pre and Post-Surgery Physiotherapy in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh
Physiotherapy before and after surgery
Surgery is often only one part of your recovery. Physiotherapy can help you prepare for an operation, understand what to expect afterwards and build your strength and movement as you recover.
Whether you are preparing for surgery or have already had an operation, we’ll work with you and your surgical team’s guidance to create a rehabilitation plan that suits your procedure, stage of recovery and goals.
Why Physiotherapy is important
Before Surgery
Pre-operative physiotherapy can help you prepare your body for surgery and give you a better understanding of what rehabilitation will involve.
This may include:
Assessing your current strength and movement
Building strength before your operation
Maintaining as much movement as possible
Understanding your post-operative restrictions
Planning your early rehabilitation
After Surgery
Your rehabilitation will depend on the type of surgery you have had and the stage of your recovery. We’ll work within your surgeon’s protocol and gradually progress your exercises as you are ready.
This may include:
Managing pain and swelling
Restoring movement and flexibility
Rebuilding strength
Improving balance and control
Returning to walking, work, exercise or sport
