Orthopaedic surgery rehab: the basics

Most clinics will be able to teach exercises to increase strength and how much someone can move the joint they had surgery on.  This a reasonably effective strategy and can produce good results.

Orthopaedic Surgery: Going the extra mile

At Pure Physio we consider full range of motion and normal strength only the first step.  Firstly we understand that a little bit of hands on mobilisation treatment means a more rapid recovery.  This in turn means an earlier return to work, hobbies and sport.  Secondly we know  that if you had a problem severe enough to require surgery you may well have wider ranging strength or biomenchanics problems.  It is essential for optimal function to resolve these problems and most importantly it prevents other problems further down the line. Thirdly we go the extra mile making sure your surgeon, ACC, GP, x-ray and if you want coach or employer is informed as to your progress.  This gives someone else fighting your corner and reduces a lot of stress.
