post-surgical physiotherapy brisbane southside

Post surgical physiotherapy Brisbane southside.

It is commonplace post-surgery to visit a physiotherapist to help regain strength, mobility, and functional independence so you can get back to doing the activities that are meaningful to you. Private practice physiotherapists see a lot of orthopaedic patients; however, physiotherapists will also work with other populations such as post-abdominal and post-cardiac surgery patients, too.
Common orthopaedic surgeries by body area/ joint include:

Spine Surgeries
  • Spinal fusion
  • Scoliosis repair
  • Discectomy
  • Laminectomy

Shoulder Surgeries
  • Subacromial decompression
  • Shoulder reconstruction
  • Rotator cuff repair

Elbow, Wrist and Hand Surgeries
  • Carpal tunnel release
  • Tendon release
  • Fixations following fracture
  • Fasciotomy

Hip Surgeries
  • Total hip replacements
  • Neck of femur fracture fixations
  • Labral repairs

Knee Surgeries
  • Total knee replacements
  • Meniscus repair
  • Anterior cruciate ligament/ posterior cruciate ligament repairs
  • Patella tendon transfer

Calf, Ankle and Foot Surgeries
  • Fasciotomy
  • Achille’s tendon rupture repair
  • Fracture fixation (e.g. Weber’s fracture of lateral malleolus of the fibula)
  • Ankle ligament repair (e.g. anterior-inferior tibio-fibular ligament)
  • Bunionectomy

Each type of surgery requires a different approach to treatment so a physiotherapist will tailor their approach to suit the individual patient. Post-surgery there may be residing stiffness, pain and reduced joint range of motion associated with the surgical area which a physiotherapist can help to reduce through manual therapy such as with mobilisations. Further, surgery and consequent periods of immobilisation or reduced physical activity can take a large toll on the body and can lead to weakness, using a progressive approach to exercise, physiotherapy can help build up strength to ensure a safe return to sport and return to activities of daily living.

​There are many ways physiotherapy can help improve your function after surgery and even prior to surgery physiotherapy will help provide an individualised prehabilitation program to ensure a faster recovery after surgery. If you are due to have or have just had surgery, come in and see our physiotherapists to see how we can help.
