About Post-Surgical Treatment

Post-surgical treatment is a crucial part of the recovery process after surgery. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer specialized post-surgical treatment to help patients regain function, strength, and mobility.


Our experienced therapists work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals following surgery. This can include a combination of manual therapy, exercise therapy, education, and other techniques.

  • How It Works

    Post-surgical treatment works by addressing the specific issues that arise after surgery, such as pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. Our therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your condition and needs. 


    They will then develop a treatment plan that targets these issues. This may involve exercises to improve strength and flexibility, manual therapy to relieve pain and improve mobility, and education on how to manage your condition at home.

  • Benefits of Post-Surgical Treatment

    The benefits of post-surgical treatment are extensive. It can help to reduce pain and swelling, improve mobility and strength, and speed up the recovery process. By addressing the specific issues that arise after surgery, post-surgical treatment can help you return to your regular activities more quickly and safely. 


    Furthermore, post-surgical treatment can provide you with the knowledge and skills to manage your condition at home, reducing the risk of complications and promoting long-term health and well-being.

  • Who Is It For

    Post-surgical treatment can benefit anyone who has undergone surgery. Whether you've had a joint replacement, a sports injury repair, or any other type of surgery, post-surgical treatment can play a crucial role in your recovery. 


    Our therapists are experienced in treating a wide range of post-surgical conditions and work with each patient to develop a treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we're here to support you throughout your recovery journey.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Exercises and Techniques

Rehabilitation exercises and techniques play a crucial role in post-surgical recovery and injury management. These therapeutic interventions are designed to restore function, improve mobility, enhance strength, and promote overall well-being. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we utilize a range of rehabilitation exercises and techniques tailored to each patient's unique needs and recovery goals.

  • Range of Motion Exercises

    These exercises aim to maintain and improve the flexibility of joints and muscles. They're particularly beneficial post-surgery or injury to prevent stiffness and improve mobility. Range of motion exercises can involve active movements performed by the patient or passive movements facilitated by the therapist.

  • Strengthening Exercises

    Strengthening exercises are designed to build muscle strength and endurance, which are often compromised following surgery or injury. These exercises can involve resistance training using weights, resistance bands, or the patient's own body weight. Strengthening exercises are crucial for restoring function and preventing re-injury.

  • Balance and Coordination Exercises

    These exercises aim to improve balance, coordination, and proprioception - the body's ability to sense its position and movement. They're particularly beneficial for patients recovering from surgeries or injuries that affect their balance or coordination. These exercises can involve activities like standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, or using balance boards.

  • Functional Training Exercises

    Functional training exercises are designed to mimic and enhance the activities performed in daily life or specific sports. They aim to improve the body's functional strength, stability, and mobility, making everyday tasks or sports performance easier and more efficient. 


    These exercises can be particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from an injury or surgery, older adults wanting to maintain their independence, and athletes wanting to enhance their performance.

  • Manual Therapy Techniques

    Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques used by therapists to mobilize joints, stretch muscles, and reduce pain. Techniques can include massage, joint mobilization, and manipulation. Manual therapy can help improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance movement, aiding in the recovery process.
