post-operative care

Physiotherapists use various techniques such as manual therapy, ice or heat therapy, and modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation to manage pain and inflammation post-surgery.

pain management

Physiotherapists prescribe specific exercises and techniques to restore joint mobility and flexibility. This can involve gentle stretching, passive range of motion exercises, and mobilisation techniques.

Mobility & Range of motion

Gradually, physiotherapists introduce strengthening exercises tailored to the individual's condition and surgical procedure. These exercises target specific muscle groups to regain strength and improve endurance.

Strength & Endurance

Physiotherapists focus on restoring functional abilities essential for daily activities. This may include practicing walking, stair climbing, and other tasks relevant to the patient's lifestyle and needs.

Functional rehabilitation

Physiotherapists educate patients about proper body mechanics, postural awareness, and ergonomics to prevent future injuries. They also design a personalised home exercise program to supplement in-clinic sessions and promote ongoing progress.

Education & Home exercise Program

Exercise physiologists design structured exercise programs that are safe, effective, and tailored to the individual's fitness level and surgical recovery needs. This may include aerobic exercises, resistance training, and flexibility exercises.

Exercise Prescription

Gradual reintroduction of cardiovascular exercise helps improve heart and lung function, enhance circulation, and promote overall cardiovascular health during recovery.

Cardiovascular fitness

Resistance exercises are prescribed to rebuild muscle strength and endurance, focusing on the affected area or areas weakened by surgery and immobility.

Muscle Conditioning

Exercise physiologists assess functional capacity and design exercises to improve functional abilities, such as balance, coordination, and agility, which may be compromised post-surgery.

Functional capacity

Through regular assessments and monitoring, exercise physiologists track progress, adjust exercise intensity and duration, and provide motivational support to maintain

Monitoring Progress

A collaborative approach

Both physiotherapy and exercise physiology often work collaboratively to ensure comprehensive care and optimal recovery outcomes for patients. They communicate closely with surgeons, physicians, and other healthcare providers to tailor rehabilitation programs based on the surgical procedure, individual needs, and any specific medical considerations.

By integrating these disciplines into post-operative care, patients can achieve faster recovery, improved functional outcomes, and enhanced quality of life following surgery.

MEET Louise devereux.

Louise’s love of movement and competition was fostered early. Growing up as the youngest girl in a family of 4 brothers, being active was key and being the youngest was no excuse for poor performance. She quickly grew to love a variety of sports and competed in these consistently growing up, having difficulty fitting them all in. That is, until she found the gym.

Once she stepped foot in the gym, she realised it was the ultimate form of self development and the place where she was only in competition with herself. Since then, Louise knew that she wanted to benefit others through movement, whatever form that looked like.
