Post Operative Care
Post-operative rehabilitation is an essential component of recovery following any major or even minor surgery. Individually tailored treatment can help you restore your range of motion, strength, co-ordination, and let you return to your usual activities through a safe and supervised program.
Enhance can help with recovery following a huge variety of procedures including joint replacement, fracture and surgical fixation, ligament repair, tendon repair or spinal surgery for the neck or back.
To help you through post-surgical recovery Enhance will provide:
- Hands-on treatment to relieve pain and swelling.
- Exercise programs to restore function and strength after surgery.
- Home activities to maximise the benefit from treatment sessions.
- Information on the recovery process and answers to your surgical rehabilitation questions.
