Pre-operative physiotherapy rehab packs a powerful punch of benefits that many people are totally unaware of. This is probably because not nearly as many people receive physiotherapy rehab before a surgical procedure as they do after. If you are scheduled to have major surgery, consider pre-operative physiotherapy rehab for yourself.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is Pre-operative Physiotherapy Rehab?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A pre-operative physiotherapy rehab program is an exercise-based program that is custom designed by a physiotherapist for individuals who plan to have a major surgery in the near future. The point of engaging in this type of rehab is to improve surgery outcomes, strengthen body and mind, and reduce a patient\u2019s post-operative recovery time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Pre-operative Physiotherapy Rehab Strengthens Your Body and Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do you plan to undergo a surgical procedure in the next few weeks or months? If so, <strong>pre-operative physiotherapy rehab may benefit you tremendously by preparing your body for surgery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Major surgeries are hard on the body. They can leave a person physically and emotionally weak. Life after surgery for many people is largely sedentary, which causes muscles to atrophy and strength to further diminish. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/drayerpt.com\/pre-post-operative-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drayer Physical Therapy<\/a>, pre-operative physiotherapy\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduces pain and inflammation<\/li>\n<li>Restores range of motion<\/li>\n<li>Improves muscular control of the injured joint<\/li>\n<li>Normalizes movement patterns before surgery<\/li>\n<li>Improves well-being and increases fitness level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Working with a physiotherapist prior to surgery will not only make your body stronger; it will also prepare your mind for what to expect after surgery and will teach you how to help yourself.<\/strong> Drayer Physical Therapy staff wrote that pre-operative rehab familiarizes patients with the exercises they will be doing post-surgery, which reduces mental stress of the unknown.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pre-operative Physiotherapy Rehab\u00a0Can Save You Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to strengthening a person\u2019s mind and body, <strong>pre-operative physiotherapy rehab saves patients money by reducing their need for post-operative care<\/strong>. The article <em>Preoperative Physical Therapy Results in \u2018Significant\u2019 Reduction in Postoperative Care Use for Patients Undergoing Hip or Knee Replacement<\/em> stated,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">\u201cA new study has found that as few as 1 to 2 sessions of preoperative physical therapy can reduce postoperative care use by 29% for patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement,<strong> adding up to health care cost savings of more than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apta.org\/PTinMotion\/News\/2014\/10\/2\/PreOperativePT\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1,000 per individual<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article said that only 54.2% of patients \u201cwho received even a small number of physical therapy sessions before surgery\u201d needed post-acute care services, whereas 79.7% of patients who did not participate in physiotherapy sessions before their surgeries required it. Clearly, participating in a pre-operative physiotherapy program pays off financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>Major surgeries can be stressful experiences. <strong>Pre-operative physiotherapy rehab is designed to decrease some of the mental, physical, and emotional stress caused by surgery.<\/strong> Would you ever consider reaching out to a physiotherapist before undergoing a surgical procedure?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting pre-operative physiotherapy rehabilitation can be one of the best decisions a person can make for his or herself prior to undergoing a major surgery.
