Physiotherapy and Post-Surgery
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฝ

Most post-surgery recovery programs recommend Physiotherapy as a crucial element for complete recovery for patients that suffer from joint and spine problems or injuries.
๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฝ

People who got through ankle surgery or hip replacement due to sports injury or even wear and tear are usually introduced to physiotherapy following their operation.

Physiotherapy can also prevent individuals from having to undergo invasive surgery when the correct investigation has been performed and introduced timeously.

It can also prepare individuals for surgery.

Will It Hurt?๐Ÿค•

๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸฝPhysiotherapy shouldnโ€™t hurt, and it will be safe. But because you'll use parts of your body that are injured or have chronic pain, physiotherapy can be challenging, even hard. For example, you may feel sore after stretching or deep tissue massage.

๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸฝBut thereโ€™s a reason for that. Your therapist has a specific plan in mind based on your particular needs. Sometimes to get stronger, you have to do some tough training. It will push you, but it shouldn't be too much.

๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸฝEach person may respond differently to therapy. Your body type, daily activities, alignment, and habits all affect your plan. Stick with it, and you'll get the benefits.

Simple, yet Effective! ๐Ÿฅค

1. Weight Balance: An older study from 2010 found that middle-aged and older adults lost more weight when they drank 500 milliliters (ml) of water before each meal over 12 weeks.๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป

2. Benefits the lungs: Getting enough water is as important for the lungs as it is for the rest of the body. Staying well hydrated by taking in fluids throughout the day helps keep the mucosal linings in the lungs thin. This thinner lining helps the lungs function better.๐Ÿ˜ค

3.Muscle power and strength: Water plays a crucial function in encouraging muscle gain because it delivers the materials required for constructing protein and glycogen structures, the body's main sources of energy. Not only does it allow better freedom of movement, but also helps you build muscles good enough for flexing them. Consequently, drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining and developing muscle.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

4.Cognitive benefits: A 2019 study also found that dehydration negatively affected mood, while rehydration improved mood and fatigue symptoms. With this in mind, a person may wish to drink water throughout the whole day to experience prolonged positive effects on their mood.๐Ÿง

What do Physiotherapists do?๐Ÿค”

Physiotherapists consider the body as a whole, rather than just focusing on the individual aspects of an injury or illness.

Some of the main approaches used by physiotherapists include:

Education and Advice ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€“ physiotherapists can give general advice about things that can affect your daily lives, such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques to help prevent injuries

Movement, Tailored Exercise and Physical Activity Advice๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿฝ
โ€“ exercises may be recommended to improve your general health and mobility, and to strengthen specific parts of your body

Manual Therapy๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
โ€“ the physiotherapist uses their hands to help relieve pain and stiffness, and to encourage better movement of the body

Did you know?
๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

๐Ÿค•Pain is multidimensional, common, complex, costly, and challenging. It has a pervasive effect on the individual with frequent co-occurrence of mood disorders, cognitive problems, movement dysfunction, activity limitation, fatigue, and clusters of comorbid health problems.

๐Ÿค”Strong evidence supports the positive and generalized role of physical activity/exercise to improve pain, mind (emotions and cognitions) movement, and social function.
