Restore range of motion, strength, and movement
An unfortunate surgery and trauma can severely limit your mobility and also impact your quality of life and those around you. Rehabilitation can often be challenging because it may be difficult to get to a clinic when you are in pain or unable to drive. Having a physiotherapist come to your home can help you start your recovery as soon as possible and optimize surgical outcomes.
Treatment emphasizes scar tissue mobilization, pain management, muscle strengthening, gait training, and home exercises. Physiotherapy intervention typically involves manual therapy, soft tissue release, electrical modalities, self-care education, therapeutic exercise, and posture and gait correction.
Some common surgery and trauma conditions that can be treated include:
- Hip and knee replacement
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Workplace injuries
- Low back surgery
- Sports injuries
- Amputation
- Pelvic pain
- Fractures
- Falls
