Pre-Operative Physical Therapy

At Carter Rehabilitation & Aquatic Centers, we understand the importance of comprehensive care throughout the entire surgical process. That's why we offer Pre-Operative Physical Therapy services, also known as 'prehab,' to help prepare patients for surgery and improve postoperative outcomes.

What is Pre-Operative Physical Therapy?

Pre-Operative Physical Therapy is a proactive approach that starts prior to surgery. The aim is to enhance the patient's physical strength and overall health, which can aid in a smoother surgical procedure and a quicker, more effective recovery.

Benefits of Pre-Operative Physical Therapy:

  1. Improved Strength and Endurance: Prehab can help increase strength, flexibility, and endurance, which are vital for a quicker recovery time after surgery.
  2. Reduced Pain and Swelling: An effective pre-operative therapy plan can decrease pre-surgical pain and control swelling, leading to a more comfortable recovery process.
  3. Better Understanding of the Recovery Process: Prehab gives patients a preview of postoperative exercises, enabling them to become familiar with the recovery process and setting realistic expectations.
  4. Reduced Recovery Time: Studies have shown that pre-operative physical therapy can significantly reduce the length of postoperative recovery, helping patients get back to their daily activities sooner.

At Carter Rehabilitation & Aquatic Centers, our experienced physical therapists will work with you and your surgeon to develop a personalized pre-operative therapy plan that suits your needs and health goals.

Post-Operative Physical Therapy

Recovering from surgery can be a challenging journey, but you don't have to go through it alone. At Carter Rehabilitation & Aquatic Centers, our Post-Operative Physical Therapy services are designed to help you regain strength, restore function, and get back to your daily activities as safely and quickly as possible.

What is Post-Operative Physical Therapy?

Post-Operative Physical Therapy begins after surgery, as recommended by your surgeon, and plays a crucial role in your recovery. It involves a variety of treatment methods, including exercises and techniques tailored to your specific surgery and individual needs, to aid in restoring mobility, strength, and function.

Benefits of Post-Operative Physical Therapy

  1. Improved Mobility and Strength: Through targeted exercises, our therapists will help you regain strength and improve mobility in the affected area.
  2. Pain Management: Physical therapy techniques can help manage post-surgical pain and discomfort, reducing the need for long-term pain medication.
  3. Reduced Recovery Time: Post-operative physical therapy can shorten your recovery time, helping you return to your daily activities and lifestyle sooner.
  4. Prevention of Future Injuries: By teaching you how to move correctly and safely, we can help minimize the risk of future injuries.
  5. Restored Independence: Our ultimate goal is to help you regain the ability to perform daily tasks independently and comfortably.

At Carter Rehabilitation & Aquatic Centers, our dedicated physical therapists will work closely with you and your surgeon to create a customized rehabilitation program that aligns with your recovery goals. We are committed to providing the highest level of care to aid in your recovery and rehabilitation journey.
