Proper rehabilitation is crucial for successfully returning to normal daily life after surgery.
In this blog post, I will discuss the importance of rehabilitation and the specific rehabilitation services offered at my practice, using the example of a patient recovering from surgery for spinal stenosis.
1 : Why is post-operative rehabilitation important?
Adhering to a well-structured rehabilitation plan after surgery is essential for rebuilding muscle strength and enhancing flexibility.
Attempting to resume previous activities too quickly or avoiding using the operated area due to discomfort can impede a smooth and effective recovery.
2: What kind of support can I provide?
I tailor personalized treatment plans for each patient based on comprehensive consultations and physical assessments.
My rehabilitation programs include targeted acupuncture sessions to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation, along with therapeutic massage and stretching exercises aimed at restoring muscle strength, flexibility, and tone.
3: Example of rehabilitation for a patient after spinal stenosis surgery
During this rehabilitation sessions, we utilize exercise balls to facilitate spinal and core muscle movements.
Additionally, for patients with limited shoulder mobility due to periarthritis, we incorporate exercises to enhance range of motion.
I also educate patients on home exercises designed to improve hip flexibility and overall muscle strength.
To facilitate a smooth transition back to daily activities and promote long-term health
I conduct detailed consultations, monitor each patient's progress closely, and adjust treatment plans as needed. In addition to acupuncture and massage therapy, stretching exercises are integral components of our rehabilitation approach.
With over 30 years of experience in this field, I am confident in my ability to assist you in your recovery journey and help you regain optimal health post-surgery.
