Pre and Post Surgical Treatments
Treatment before and after surgery
At The Newry Clinic we specialise in the preparation for surgery and the rehabilitation post surgery.
Pre-Surgical Treatment
The most important part of pre-operative treatment is education.
- What exactly the surgery involves
- How long should recovery take,
- How much pain, swelling and short term disability will the surgery cause
- What will the post op rehab involve
- When are you likely to return to work/sport
If is vital a surgical candidate has as much knowledge of their condition and probable outcome, as possible so they can mentally and physically prepare for what lies ahead.
The physical preparation involves ensuring not only the areas awaiting surgery but also the whole body is ready for surgery.
At the clinic we aim to:
- Achieve maximum range off movement at the affected area
- Activate muscles around the affected area
- Maintain general cardiovascular fitness i.e. – Bike, Swimming, Aqua Jogging
- Reduce swelling around the affected area
The stronger fitter and more mobile you can be pre-operatively the quicker you will tend to recover post operatively.
