Post-Operative/Surgical Rehabilitation In Mississauga

Post-Operative Rehabilitation is a post-surgical program of re-establishing joint motion, joint function, and muscle strengthening around the joint. Post-Operative rehabilitation can also be a long process. When surgery is performed it may take only a few hours, whereby rehabilitation may take many months depending on the severity of the injury. Soft tissues can take up to 12 weeks to heal and often longer when injuries are severe. Surgical repair on tissues such as ligaments and tendons take the longest as they aren’t highly vascularized, which means they don’t receive very much blood flow. This is important because blood brings about nutrition and oxygen to the cells while also removing unwanted dead cells and tissues.

On your initial visit we perform a comprehensive assessment that includes your medical history, including surgeries and prior attempts (if any) at therapy. Based on the outcome of the assessment, a treatment plan will be discussed and if approved, set up based on one’s individual needs and goals. The outcomes of Post-Operative rehabilitation could be improved when one comes in soon after surgery. Treatment of acute injuries can be quicker, with goals to make the healing process more successful and faster.
