Undergoing surgery is only the first step toward full recovery. At Horizon Orthopaedic and Spine Institute, we believe post-surgical rehabilitation is just as crucial for long-term success. Here’s why rehab plays a vital role in your healing process.
Why Rehabilitation Matters
Post-surgical rehab helps patients regain mobility, strength, and function. Without it, recovery can be slower, less effective, or incomplete. Rehab is particularly important after procedures like:
- Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
- Spine surgeries (fusion, decompression)
- Fracture repairs and ligament reconstruction
What to Expect in Rehab
At Horizon, each rehab plan is personalized. We focus on:
- Reducing post-operative pain and swelling
- Restoring joint or spine flexibility
- Strength training and balance exercises
- Preventing complications like stiffness or weakness
Rehab Timeline
Rehab typically begins a day or two after surgery and may continue for several weeks or months. Patients are guided by trained physiotherapists who monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Benefits of Rehabilitation
- Faster recovery and reduced downtime
- Lower risk of re-injury or chronic pain
- Improved function and independence
