Chicago’s Leading Physical Therapy Center Expands Pre and Post-Surgery Therapy Services
Patients can schedule an appointment with a certified physical therapist to get back to their normal routine as soon as possible.
In Motion Physical Therapy, Chicago’s leading physical therapy center, expands its pre and post-surgery therapy services. Patients are welcome to schedule an appointment with its certified physical therapist to get back to normal routine at the earliest. The center is known for its sports therapy, performance physical therapy, and holistic physical therapy services designed for athletes, runners, and tennis players. Lauren Schnidman, Doctor of Physical Therapy, explains in detail about pre-surgical and post-surgical rehab and how patients can benefit from the same.
Pre-surgical rehabilitation is often prescribed by orthopedic surgeons to improve the outcome of the surgery. Studies revealed that the recovery time in these scenarios can be significantly decreased, especially when the physical therapy has been initiated 4-6 weeks before the surgery. This rehab program prepares the body for surgery both mentally and physically. From decreased pain to increased strength and mobility, there are cases where patients avoided surgery with pre-surgical rehab.
Conservative management with sports physical therapy also reduces medical costs, eliminates the need for costly surgeries, and minimizes the impact on work and other commitments. In cases where surgery cannot be avoided, pre-surgical therapy becomes a necessity. Holistic physical therapy conducted as part of pre-operative rehab has several benefits. One is that the rehab improves the overall outcome of the surgery. The more the range of motion before the surgery, the shorter the recovery time.
Pre-surgery rehabilitation incorporates targeted exercise to build strength and endurance, thereby reducing complications during the surgery. The certified physical therapist provides various holistic physical therapy treatments, including manual therapy and electrostimulation, that help reduce pain. Surgery is nothing but planned trauma, and the body needs to prepare mentally as much as physically. The therapist will address any concerns the patient might have regarding their recovery time or the use of crutches.
Post-surgical rehabilitation is recommended after an orthopedic surgery for faster and smoother recovery. Depending on the kind of surgery and the complications, the sports performance therapy can start right after the surgery or a couple of weeks later. Many patients do not regain their motion after orthopedic surgery. The body needs specific retraining to bring the normal motion and strength back. The certified physical therapists at In Motion are specifically trained to help patients restore their strength and motion. Every patient at the center gets an individualized plan per their functional goals.
Post-operative rehab is divided into phases, starting with focusing on the surgical area, followed by a series of progressive exercises to help restore motion, stability, and strength. Sports physical therapy and holistic physical therapy in rehab can include a combination of treatments such as ice, heat, and electrical stimulation, home exercise, manual therapy techniques, gait analysis and training, stretching and strengthening exercises, posture balance, and coordination training. What makes In Motion Physical Therapy different is the synergistic relationship between the patient and the therapist, backed by quality care and empathy. The center provides comprehensive evaluation and customized treatment plans for orthopedic and sports-related injuries.
