Trauma and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
Who is it for?
Orthopaedic rehabilitation is for patients who have suffered a “trauma”, a sudden physical injury which most commonly results in fractures and soft tissue injuries. This includes work and traffic accidents, falls, sports injuries and over exertions.
This type of physical therapy also refers to any person who has received orthopaedic surgery. This refers to joint replacements, bone plates, corrective surgery like tendon release and recontructive surgery.
Why do I need it?
Physiotherapy plays a big role in returning to an active lifestyle in the shortest time possible following an orthopaedic intervention. Gone are the days where bed rest are the prescribed treatment for recovery. Early rehabilitation and physiotherapy intervention have been proven to get you back on your feet faster and are essential for a full recovery. It is also needed to prevent secondary complications.
