Post-operative physiotherapy and rehabilitation

Surgery is the last resort for musculoskeletal problems, usually when some structures have been cut (total tendon or meniscus rupture) or when a joint has been completely destroyed. Physiotherapy is directly related to the preparation of the surgery (the optimal condition of the tissues and the respiratory system before the surgery favors the positive results), while it is necessary even after its completion. This makes physiotherapy one of the specialties that deals directly with restoring the individual to normal daily life.

For example, after discectomy surgery on the lumbar spine with neurological findings such as weakness of the lower limb, retraining the nerve tissue to increase its conduction is extremely important. Finally, in cases of total knee, hip or shoulder arthroplasty, reducing pain and restoring full range of motion and strength of the limb is the main goal of recovery and rehabilitation.
