(prHWY.com) March 19, 2013 - Fort Lauderdale, FL -- Fort Lauderdale, Florida (February 26, 2013) - Fort Lauderdale Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, the local service provider of extensive treatments for all types of musculoskeletal injuries and neurological disorders, is offering post-surgery physical therapy. After performing surgery, the board-certified
orthopedic surgeon from Florida who led the procedure requires patients to undergo the treatment to return to full functional independence.
Once individuals are finished with surgery, they are required to rest in order for their bodies, internally and externally, to heal properly. However, the non-movement of the area leads to atrophy where muscle mass is lost. Moreover, patients begin to have difficulty in resuming the usage of the operated area for everyday functions because of the pain experienced after surgery.
Physical rehabilitation is the gradual transition from the post-surgery state to restoring the ability of the individual to perform their daily activities successfully. During the first few sessions, pain reduction is the primary goal for the individual to accomplish the different exercises that the therapy entails. These exercises aim to regain the main function of the operated area by bringing back the full range of motion of the muscles and bones.
Throughout the rehabilitation, the strength of the operated area is restored to prevent further injury. This process is essential to prevent the non-operated area from handling the work of the operated area. When this happens, the patient unconsciously weakens the operated area, making it more prone to injury.
In Fort Lauderdale Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, highly experienced therapists work closely with orthopaedic experts to construct a rehabilitation program that is unique to each patient. Individuals who have recently undergone surgery can set an appointment for
physical therapy in Fort Lauderdale by calling (954) 400-5544.
