What Kinds Of Surgeries Need Post-Surgical Rehab?

Post-surgical rehabilitation is a crucial aspect of recovery for most types of surgery. After surgery, our therapists focus on reducing pain and inflammation, improving flexibility, and gradually increasing strength and endurance. In addition, physical and occupational therapy can help reduce the risk of complications such as blood clots and infections.

Post-surgical rehab is provided by Root Therapy & Wellness for the following types of surgery:

Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement surgeries, such as hip and knee replacements, require specialized therapy to restore range of motion, strength, and mobility. Recent research found that patients who participated in therapy after a joint replacement surgery had better pain management, function, and quality of life outcomes than those who did not receive therapy. Through a blend of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and functional training, therapists help patients regain balance and movement while reducing pain and inflammation.

Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery, including lumbar and cervical procedures, often necessitates therapy to address post-operative limitations. By focusing on core stabilization, spinal alignment, and flexibility, therapists provide a comprehensive approach to recovery.

Other Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgeries are performed to treat a wide range of conditions, including joint replacements, fractures, tendon or ligament repairs, and spinal surgeries. Orthopedic surgeries, such as rotator cuff repair or ACL reconstruction, typically involve therapy to rehabilitate the affected joint or muscle. These procedures may be necessary due to injury, disease, or age-related degeneration.

Abdominal Surgery

Abdominal surgeries can include gall bladder removal, hysterectomy, appendectomy, and c-sections, just to name a few. Scar tissue formation after these types of surgeries can cause disruption to normal movement patterns, and our therapists are skilled at ensuring that your body continues to function and move the way it is supposed to, or re-learns if it has been compromised for a significant length of time.

Root Therapy & Wellness can help you recover from all of these types of surgeries. We will help you regain your range of motion, strength, and function post-surgery. Call (406) 219-5388 today and schedule an appointment!
