Most of us are aware of the necessary steps needed after surgery to restore strength, mobility, joint flexibility, movement patterns and performance. However, the road to recovery does not need to wait till after surgery.
Pre-operative rehabilitation
In the lead up to your surgery, your original condition may have caused some secondary issues, such as reduced movement and strength. Treatment prior to surgery helps to keep the surrounding tissues healthy and strong which ultimately reduces ones recovery time post-surgery. Best outcomes and shorter recovery times have been demonstrated in patients who undergo preoperative strengthening and stretching exercise protocols.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Post-orthopaedic surgery, you’ll almost certainly require exercise progression to fully regain your strength, flexibility and function. At Edge Healthcare, we’ll happily assist you in your post-operative care.
Muscles surrounding the operation site can often become tight post-surgery, which can lead to a build up of scar tissue and joint stiffness. We use our expert hands to decrease your muscle spasm, break down the scar tissue to allow it to move freely and mobilise your joints. We will prescribe exercise programmes that will aid you in regaining your mobility, flexibility, strength and movement so you can return to all the activities you enjoy doing.
We will maintain communication with your surgeon throughout the process.
Empowering Mothers Through Expert Physiotherapy Care
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in supporting women’s health before and after childbirth. It helps strengthen key muscle groups, enhances movement, and reduces the risk of common pregnancy-related issues. Through targeted exercises, physiotherapy prepares the body for labour and supports a smoother recovery postpartum.
This specialised care relieves discomfort, improves daily mobility, and promotes overall well-being during this important time.
At Edge Healthcare, our experienced team creates personalised care plans tailored to each woman’s unique needs throughout pregnancy and beyond. With expert guidance and compassionate support, we help women build strength, move with ease, and recover comfortably after childbirth.
What is Prenatal Physiotherapy?
Prenatal physiotherapy helps women adjust safely to the many physical changes that come with pregnancy. It focuses on gentle stretching and movement techniques designed to reduce strain and prepare the body for childbirth.
Many pregnant women experience back pain, hip discomfort, and bladder pressure. Prenatal physiotherapy addresses these common issues through targeted exercises and expert support. Additionally, it improves posture, encourages the baby to settle in the optimal position, and strengthens the body for labour.
At Edge Healthcare, our therapists tailor exercises and stretches to each mother’s individual needs, helping her stay active, comfortable, and well throughout pregnancy.
What is Postnatal Physio?
Postnatal physiotherapy helps women rebuild strength and stability following delivery. It targets key areas such as the abdominal muscles, hips, and pelvic floor to restore power and improve function.
Many new mothers face challenges like back pain, muscle weakness, or bladder control issues after childbirth. With carefully guided exercises, postnatal physiotherapy improves posture, strengthens muscles, and restores balance.
At Edge Healthcare, our customised postnatal physiotherapy programs support mothers in comfortably returning to their daily routines and caring for their babies with less discomfort and greater confidence.
