Factors Influencing Post-Operative Recovery

​

Post-operative physiotherapy is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual following surgery. Our team at M.K. Clinic And Physiotherapy Center recognizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and factors that may influence the recovery process.

 

• Surgical Procedure: The type and extent of the surgical procedure can impact the specific challenges faced during recovery. Our physiotherapists are experienced in working with various surgical cases, from orthopaedic surgeries to abdominal surgeries.

 

• Individual Health Condition: The overall health and pre-existing medical conditions of the individual can influence the recovery timeline and rehabilitation requirements. 

 

• Pain and Inflammation: Post-surgical pain and inflammation can affect mobility and function. Our physiotherapy interventions aim to manage pain and reduce inflammation to promote healing.

 

• Scar Tissue Management: Proper management of scar tissue is essential for maintaining tissue flexibility and preventing complications that may arise from adhesions.
