Pre-Operative Care

In the event that conservative treatment fails to resolve symptoms, a surgical procedure may be necessary or required to assist in recovery. At Southland Physical Therapy, all of our clinicians are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to help an individual recover following a surgical procedure. It is important for patients to understand the benefits of prehab which is a treatment program one would undergo prior to surgery so that the recovery is faster with fewer complications. This can help to expedite the healing process, and better prepare you for the negative effects that come along with any surgical procedure.

What are some of the negative effects of a surgical procedure that Southland can directly help to mitigate?

  • Improper Wound Care
  • Lack of symmetry of Left and Right sides of the body
  • Altered gait mechanics
  • Swelling/Inflammation
  • Reduced range of motion/stiffness/joint contractures
  • Atrophy of musculature

In theory, many of our patients should be at an increased functional level after surgery as compared to before surgery. It is our goal to ensure that individuals are stronger, more functional, and less susceptible to another injury after the procedure. This starts with working together to set goals pre and post-surgery, neuromuscular re-education to reduce poor movement patterns, which are detrimental to the gains made in surgery, as well as strengthening and stretching to reduce asymmetries throughout the body. We are committed to setting all of our patients up for success before any surgery, and it is important for them to know that physical therapy is just as important pre-surgery as it is post-surgery.
