Are you tired of dealing with an injury, or have you been told you need surgery to fix it? Are you looking for ways to avoid surgery or maximize your outcome after surgery? Our physical therapists at No Limit Physical Therapy in San Diego will come to your home to provide the tools to help you avoid surgery if possible or prepare you for and recover after if it is truly your best option!
Most people know about going to a clinic for rehabilitation when recovering from an injury or surgery. It is also more common to have someone come to your house (i.e., mobile physical therapy) before surgery (aka pre-hab) and after surgery to help you get the best possible results you can.
If you are looking for one-on-one care in the comfort of your own home, our highly skilled therapists at No Limit Physical Therapy, in San Diego can come to your house and work with you to make sure you put yourself in the position for success, whether you have, or don’t have, surgery!
Call today to request an appointment and learn more about our mobile therapy programs if you’re facing surgery!
How can pre-hab at home help?
Getting physical therapy treatments before surgery can help you prepare physically and mentally for any upcoming surgical procedure. Pre-operative therapy, also known as “pre-hab,” has been demonstrated to be an effective way to help post-operative rehabilitation and maximize outcomes for long-term results.
Our physical therapists at No Limit Physical Therapy in San Diego provide mobile therapy options for people to try physical therapy before any surgical procedure. Our team will perform an injury assessment in your home to ensure surgery is the best option.
We will also help prepare you for surgery by identifying the areas of concern, like swelling, range of motion deficits, and weaknesses. We will also assess your home to identify potential obstacles and hazards that could be dangerous for you and limit your outcome. By implementing therapy before surgery, in some cases, you can avoid surgery and also put yourself in the best possible position for a quick recovery afterward.
Too often, people think that surgery fixes the issue immediately, when in fact, surgery is often just the start of recovery. Most successful surgical outcomes depend on the type of surgery, the rehabilitation after, and, most importantly, the patient’s compliance and persistence with recovery. Preparing your home ahead of time can also give you an edge to ensure your results.
In a nutshell, pre-hab is an approach that anticipates the challenges you will likely face and sets the stage mentally, physically, and environmentally for a successful outcome!
How can post-operative rehabilitation at home help?
Although most people assume they will need to go to a physical therapy clinic after surgery, nowadays, you can have a therapist come to your home and provide proper guidance. For some people getting to their physical therapy appointments is too difficult, so they end up trying to manage on their own. Unfortunately, this often leads to a longer recovery, and in some cases, they don’t recover and end up with an even more challenging situation.
If you want to achieve the best possible outcome after surgery, having our No Limit Physical Therapy therapists come to your home soon after the surgery will help you get back to doing what you love. Our mobile therapists will customize your physical therapy program to fit your condition and use your everyday objects to help you achieve your personal goals.
The first consultation with your mobile physical therapist will assess how you sustained your injury and the details of your surgical procedure. Your physical therapist will thoroughly examine your surgical site, range of motion, swelling levels, and muscle function (strength).
Our post-surgical rehabilitation will focus on the following keys to success:
- Alleviating pain
- Eliminating swelling
- Improving range of motion
- Returning strength to pre-injury levels and beyond
- Restoring balance and coordination
- Assess your home environment to ensure a safe return to full function
Your San Diego mobile physical therapist will also guide exercises you should do at home and specific benchmarks you need to accomplish at each stage of your recovery.
